Cabrera fish boxes

Does anyone have any ideas as far as insulating these boxes? I thought that it might work better by using big insulated fish bags and just dropping them into the boxes...I was thinking that they might work better holding ice for an overnighter. I'm getting closer to rapping this project up...about 90%done.
Much thanks.

90% complete and 50% to go!
I know the feeling.
Good luck, Pal. How about some current pix.

How about laminating on Divinacyl (sp?) or some other foam core material? i have no idea what their R factor is. Also you could try some of the neoprene sound deadener sheets sold on Ebay.

Mikey,
Pics are coming as soon as the upper station of the tower is put into place and after the fish boxes are done..shouldn't be too much longer.
Rawleigh,
My glass man wants to use some 2" foam that he's had real good luck with in the past. Thanks for your help.

John, I used 3/4 divinycell foam with several layers of 1708 then I also used 2" blue foam sheets total of 3" should hold ice for a while. Kill box measures 55" x 28" x 24",Hope to keep the deck free and clear. BH

John,
Not sure you have room for 2" foam. You still want to be able to remove the box. Maybe on the bottom and one side, I'd choose the side with the exhaust for insulation and buy more ice.
