Looking for board for son - mini squirt?

Hey guys, not sure if this is my first post, or only had a few, I'm not much of a poster, since I don't have much knowledge on the subject and usually can find answers to my questions by searching of course!

Anyways, my son is about to turn 5, weighs about 52 lbs and is 44" tall i think, skinny and extremely tall for his age. He has been kneeboarding for a while leaving the rope in the hook, but starting last weekend he started holding the rope and now absolutely loves it. I am interested in getting him a used wakeboard, but having a hard time finding a used one in the area. I have found ONE liquid force mini squirt for sale for $45. I haven't called the guy and I think the squirts might have been last made in '99 and not exactly sure what year this is. So I am curious if this will be a decent board and if this is a decent price. Cost is definitely a factor. I do not want to spend a lot of money right now. I would still have to drive an hour or so or have a friend that lives in the area pick it up.

Any and all input is much appreciated!

The LF Nemesis is a great kids board! The 111 should be a good fit for your boy but if he's on the tall size the 118 might be the way to go?

This will be my son's first attempt at wakeboarding, not sure if he will even get out there and try it or if he will like it. So I'm not willing to spend $250 to $350 on a board and bindings, when I only paid $260 for my board and bindings (have to love evo outlet!)
