Where are you moving from? If its a long trip, I would probably have done a cooler. Better insulated. Do you plan on using a heater?

I trasported two motoro rays in a cooler, from Wisconson each in a seperate cooler and it worked great. It was also a two day ordeal.

What I did was siliconed air tubing to the drain of the cooler so water wouldn't leak and after that dried I lined the cooler with 2 50gl trash bags. Once you fill it with water it the bags mold to the cooler. I then ran the air tubing up the side of the cooler and into the bag. I loosly tied the first bag with some old wire so I could bend it easy and air could exchange. Then I just kind of wraped the other bag over the first one. I put a heat pack in it and it kept it at a temp of 81 in one cooler and 82 in the other for the whole trip. This is something you might want to consider.
