    Soft Cooler

    I am looking for a good soft cooler for my 2013 Z1, want it to fit inside the built-in cooler. Any help on this would be great.
    There was a thread a while back about this,but I can not find it.

    Ao coolers in San dimas ca. They make most of the soft coolers for the boat companies with their brand logo on them. I have a few, love them. Come with warranty.

    Now, I just don't know if they make one to fit inside your current cooler. If you can attain the size of your hard cooler, then it should be fairly simple.

      Polar Bear Coolers has always done a good job. Might give them a shout.

        this one fits perfectly, with a little room on the side for snacks that don't need to be in a cooler.

          It won't fit in your built in cooler, but we bought a Yeti Hopper 30 and have been more than happy with it. Works great even in this Texas heat and can set it on the swim platform for easy access in the coves. It doesn't leak at all and has a very padded bottom that won't harm the vinyl if you toss it in the bow.

                  Here is a pic and link of the AO Stow and Go 38 pack cooler in my 15 Z3 cooler location. Tired of ice not lasting more then an hour so purchased this in hope it would help. Cooler fits perfectly and held a lot of gatorade and water bottles with almost a 20lb bag of ice. Will report back after the 102 Deg wkend we have ahead.

                    Thanks for posting that JGL!!! Based on the dimensions, I thought that model would be too big to fit. Looks like it fits just fine!

                      Ok, this might be a silly question, but I will ask anyways because I'm definitely interested. We use the smaller size AO cooler and do the same thing in our Z1. Does anyone know if the cooler on the Z1 is the same size/dimension as the Z3? If so, an upgrade is in our future!

                        After a wkend of 100 deg heat the cooler held ice and I only used around 15 lbs total compared to 60 if i were to just dump ice in the in boat cooler. Well worth the $70. I loaded at 9am Friday and dumped around 5p sunday and only added a couple LBS of ice during that time and cooler set in boat entire time in heat. There were still a few pieces of ice in cooler and water was very cold still.

                        Pic from Saturday eve after almost 30 hours of original ice in it. I did have a couple frozen bottles of water in the cooler and they were still frozen on sunday.

                          According to AO site they will sew on a name or such if ordered directly from them

                            One other plug for AO -- their customer service/warranty is great. I had one leak, and I took it in to see about getting it fixed under warranty (their headquarters is not too far from where I live). When I brought it in, she took a quick look at the liner, went to the back, grabbed me a brand new one, and gave it to me. Nice.

                              I would agree with that. Their warranty is great, and they will replace the liner, I believe for one year. After that they start charging you $10 bucks.

                              My biggest problem with them is that THEY DO LEAK! I have the family pack, and have had to send them in twice for repairs. I don't abuse them, it just happens over time. I've been having a lot better luck with the Yeti Hopper.
