If so do they fit well in the chocks, and what size did you use? I believe the original cooler to be a 72 or 84 quart Igloo. I do not think they make the 84 quart anymore. Thanks!

It is currently in production. The only difference is in the height. If you have rod cushions, simply install it with the hinges facing forward. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

It does seem to match the 72qt in size perfectly according to the igloo web site. Is that odd? The cooler also has a Whaler factory cushion that fits perfectly on the top. Did they ever use the 72 for this seat, or maybe the 84 is very close in size to the 72qt. The cushion that came with the boat cooler will be to small in length for a 94 quart by quite a bit (around 6 inches short).

The cooler was optional and different sizes were optional too. If you didn't already have the cushion, you could choose to go with the larger 94qt cooler if you needed more cooler space.

All of these models can use the 94qt cooler as long as you have the correct chocks. Look in the download section for drawings of the chocks. http://www.whalercentral.com/download...?cat_id=13

The width and height is the same as the 86 qt. I found the 94qt allowed two to sit up forward. Prices for coolers run far apart so shop around. Halls makes a matching cushion for the 94 qt.
