So i bought a 1990 24' VIP vincente and it came with this ridiculous thing in the cuddy. It resembles a mini fridge (in size) but there is no cooling whatsoever. So I guess you would call it an ice box. but it is front loading(swing open door) .... what?? what is the point of it? I can't even put ice in it and treat it like a cooler because it's front loading. So I guess my ? is
a:what the heck am i supposed to do with this thing I mean when the boat was new what was it's purpose? If I could find that out I may use it.
b: how difficult is it to put a ac/dc fridge in aftermarket? As I am sitting here I already know I should have measured before posting. But at a 1990 boat (still in insanely nice shape) I don't know if I can justify $600-700 on a new boat fridge. additional info= boat is dry docked, and the two batteries see a charger twice per season.
c: and of course I will end with my question that I ALWAYS consider... where do the boats go when they die? I mean surely there has to be norcold fridges on older vessels that are ready for the scapyard.
