I have the 13 and I am very happy with it, I get 3 dozen minnows at a time which suits that size fine, could easily hold more.
Rich (Wicklundrh) posted a while back his in depth review using it as a tournament fisherman, maybe he'll see this thread and repost.
I considered getting one of these but I thought the Aerator was noisy and the cooler was high so I just took an old igloo drilled a hole in the top to run the air hose thru got me a bubble box and it works great. Lot cheaper than a engel. EB

Thanks for all the feedback.
I installed one of the 12 volt Marine Metals bubblers with two aerator hoses on my boat. I have one in the live well and one in my minnow bucket. i wanted something similar to the Engels bait cooler but I only wanted the cooler. I found an Igloo "ice Cube" that had a small compartment in the lid. I cut out the bottom of the compartment, drilled a hole in the side for the aerator hose and gave it a trial run today. It was not scorching hot today, got to 85 before I left. i had 3 dozen in there to start and all were kicking when I left 4 hours later. The water was still really cool too. I think this is going to work really well.
I like the small access door so I don't have to open the main lid to get minnows.

The cooler was under $20 at Walgreens, of all places.
Thanks SeaRay. I'll see if they have them here. Really like that one.
It is an Igloo Ice Cube 12 qt cooler(also called 14 for 14 cans). The Igloo website has them for $24 with a 15% discount on first orders. I think Walgreens must have had a close out sale for me to get it for $19.99. They had several so I didn't think anything about it being on sale.
