We have one for our 75lb Golden for all of the already mentioned reasons. And we have lifted her into the boat a couple of times by using the handle on the top of the jacket without a problem.
I would think if you buy a good quality jacket made for a dog upto 100 lbs, the handle should be fine to lift him from!
