I prob will search for more cooler options. If i turn a big cooler stern to bow it takes up too much floor space. A 17fter doesnt have much to start. And if I turn one sideways into the recess in front of my console. the recess doesnt go all the way to the floor. It is elevated about 2". Making a 2" spacer and using a cooler would prob be much easier. Ill take some measurements tomorrow and go from there.
