That sure be right, CL. Of course, that Possum Belly Cooler attached to the
bottom is what made it so appealing. The thought having that big tub crammed
full of iced Budweiser along on every fishing trip made the Umco seem too
good to be true. I could then tell my wife that I only took my tacklebox &
rods on my outings, like a good husband should. ;-)

yep the old umco magnum i think it was called. it had the famous possum
belly cooler. it was huge and as impractical as could be. great in
theory,
but horrible in practice.

if one of my clients ever tried to bring one of those on a trip i would
have
bill danced him right over the side.

I was one of the few idiots that actually bought one of those stupid
boxes.
When I filled it up, I couldn't lift it. When I got help lifting it up,
it
was too high for the trunk of my new car, ('73 Sedan De Ville, back in
the
good old days when I still had my health). When we got it into the boat,
it
opened up too wide to use. We had to end up sliding it from side-to-side
so
we could open one side at a time. I soon donated it to a worthy cause; a
Democratic party fundraising auction.
