Tom Tom Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Ice_Box_Dimension.pdfThere must be other Quintrex/Stacer boat owners with the same issue, where to place the ICE BOX? I would liek to place it under the seat, worst case senario is to get rid of the seat and place two ice boxes and use them as seats. Looking for the ideal sized ICE BOX W=40, L=1100, H=32 Please find attached a drawing of the space I have available any suggestions would be appreciated. Who could make one uip for me? It is frustrating as Quintrex has not given any thought to it, and secondly the ICE BOX manufacturers make them too high. From the floor to the top of the boat is 51cm. Help?

Lasty Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 If you find one Tom let me know. I have a 4.6m Stacer and have the same problem. Ideally I'd like an ice box that would slide under the back seat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Tom Tom I would say you will be hard pressed to find something to fit under the seat. You might be able to get one of those made ones made to spec. they use that coolite stuff .aluminium outers with foam core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy0884 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 why dont you get one in replace of your seat with a cushion on it?get it custom made to size CFD I replaced my back seat with an ice box, no cushion yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Do you have the under floor storage compartments like in the newer quintrex models?? I use mine as an ice box, 2 bags of ice and plenty of space for fish and bait. How did you go with that ladder issue? I do the same in my Quiny. penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Tom Tom, Just a suggestion, but if you cant get a single icebox off the rack to meet your size requirement (as maybe they are too high in that length ?) then maybe look at two smaller ones side by side. I notice those new "Freedom" boats have this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Tom Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the replies guys. 1. Only 4.8m Quintrex have underfloor storage.!!!! This is something you find out after you buy the boat!!! 2. Sammy/DarrenG , Two smaller 56L = L565 W400 H410 Ice Kool boxes are an option. I will then need to fix them so they don't move. I'll check out the new freedom sport. 3. Still looking for the ultimate solution a custom made ICE BOX that fits perfectly under the seat, still allowing access to the back where the batteryand fuel pump is located. I live in Sydneyand would like a name and details of someone who makes them. Guys this Cooler thing is critical the Mrs has given me a window of opportunity to spend the money, I need to get a good nights sleep and it won't happen until this is solved . Arron, The ladder issue was solved with a little back yard modifications, it works perfectly now, I'm glad I bought the $200 ladder with the wide runs, its easier for the kids and the Mrs. Edited February 12, 2007 by Tom Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Tom I have an idea that might work but would like to see a few pic's of the boat interior . Would these be available ? In respect to the fabrication there is a guy at Doonside I was aware of some years back , Noel Howie Aluminium Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
