I just got the 110 and it’s way bigger than I expected.  No way it would fit in the walkway. Not to mention it weighs almost 50# empty.  The 65 is almost 40#. That’s just to big and heavy for a boat cooler in my opinion. It would be close to 100# by the time it’s full.  I have 30 and 20 soft coolers and the 30 is my go to. It’s easy to get in and out of the boat and I don’t worry about it banging around in the boat when moving it around. It stays in the walkway. If I have a big crew or a long day, I use the under seat cooler along with the 30 and just deal with the inconvenience of the stock cooler location but I try to pack strategically to where we don’t have to get under the seat as often. My Under seat cooler is hard to use because I have to scoot the drivers seat forward a little to access it since it hits the back of the drivers seat. I’ve been considering a soft 40. Didn’t know they made a soft 60. 

This is the way to go. Done with hard coolers in my boat. Take up too much room and when you get a roto hard cooler, loading it up and getting in the boat is a lot harder. The soft coolers have similar performance and so much easier to use. I use AO soft coolers at half the price of Rtic and just as good.

Agree.. we went with the RTIC 30 and the 40 and one (or both) are perfect. Easy to move around and no fear of banging up the boat.
