Here is a photo of the my replacement 94 qt. cooler in a Montauk 17. It is higher than the original cooler. I added some wooden pieces to the rod holders (also recently fabricated) to raise the backrest cushions. all the cushions are new from Anderson. I got the cushions after I fabricated the rod holders. When I get motivated, I'll probably make the rod holders taller.

The Igloo cooler shown in your photo is the latest design with a much thicker lid than the one they sold in 1988. The 1988 version had a lid about 1" thick with a "waffle" design molded into the top surface. The thicker lid could be the problem.
