We went with an Engle in lieu of Yeti, mostly due to cost. Not cheap, but at the time about half or less the cost of a Yeti (and not as heavy as a pelican, which I think is the one made from fiberglass). Three years in and still very happy with it. It lives on the upper deck with no cover and so far doesn't look any worse for wear. Rubber feet and it never moves in waves, even when empty - we don't have it tied down. A friend bought one after seeing ours and he is also very pleased. And they are made in USA, too!

EDIT - having just looked at the post, above, I want to clarify that we have an Engle cooler, not the fridge/freezer version with a compressor.
