Product review (5 stars): High quality without the high price!
I bought the 50qt cooler for $200 from a local LP Gas company (Blossman Gas) that carries the Bayou Classic line of cookers.  They had the the 50qt and the 25qt in stock and said they could order any size I wanted.  It is very rugged and all metallic hardware and fasteners is stainless steel, perfect for those of us who like to fish in saltwater.  I can't remember what the lids weight rating is but it has held my fat 265lb butt quite a few nights while I was fishing off the beach!
