Default Red neck Idea SHEESH!

So the task I have today is to mail off a 9 inch center section...exhibit A

Now I could build a crate for it and increase my shipping cost. This item does need to keep dry.
So my thinking is this. I have exhibit B
a old Coleman cooler that has a attached lid and handles on each side. This item is right at 70.Lbs. So it dry and easy to move and protected by the insulation. Obviously I packed more bubble wrap inside to keep it from bouncing etc.
They actually build a box for shipping these parts but the box cost $30 and it is very similar to the cooler but not as well made.
So is this Redneck ingenuity or crafty thinking?
