Back when your boat was new, the factory cooler option was an 86-quart Igloo. Like the current 94-quart size. I use the 72-quart size in our classic Montauk. Shorter, so it leaves a little more room to get around it.
Igloo makes their own cushions, but the best ones are from Anderson Upholstery and Specialty Marine. You can still get the special "cooler hooks" for use with the factory bungee hold-down system from a Whaler dealer. I got mine from Sue at Twin Cities Marine in Wisconsin.

Hello. Did you have to move the chocks when replacing the cooler with the 72-quart one? Thanks

No, same chock location for the 94 Qt. and 72 Qt. Igloo cooler.
