$50 is still too much, you want cheap?  This Saturday I just bought a ratty 
and faded farmer john wet suit for fifty cents!   It has no tears and it 
will keep me warm just fine.  At the same swap meet I bought a vest type 
PFD that had never even been in the water, for one dollar.  And on Sunday I 
bought a very attractive size small two piece women's wetsuit in near 
perfect condition for $25 for my daughter.  It has farmer john legs and a 
waist length jacket, and the lavender color is my daughter's favorite.  You 
just got to keep your eyes open everywhere you go, and you will find 
bargains.
