How about a Hurtta life jacket? A bit pricey but may be worth it by the sound of it. There's also one by Ruffwear but the sizing goes by measurement and not weight, so not sure if it would fit your big guy. I have one for my dog and it makes a big difference in how well she stays upright in the water.
If neither of those work, you could try a Help 'Em Up Harness that would allow you to support him in the water. Bonus of being able to use it to help him up in other contexts too, especially if you're noticing leg weakness.
