that is the one i ordered.. if u see the description says youth.. that would be 50 to 90 pounds but the picture of the jacket says child... when you open it up it says 30 to 50 pounds. It is not labeled correctly. I can not find a true youth vest.
How about the walmart youth one.

@robert843 this might be a dumb suggestion but do you think a cooper anchor would do the trick. They have several sizes and I can’t remember what I have but I know I bought a size up and while there isn’t much to my ski it’s held great throughout the Bahamas (as long as I have enough line out). What I like is that they do not weigh much at all. I’ve been very pleased.

It’s a Delta anchor which works very well in a sandy bottom. I use a galvanized 20lbs one for my minivan.

Took the boat out today on quick trip and forgot the cooler. Anchor locker worked great!

Hmm looks like someone had some bad luck at the 2:52 mark of this video. I have not seen this boat before but not sure if it was there last year.
