That sounds about right for the whole kit; board, rope, booster, storage bag.
Yeah if @J-RAD can point me in the direction of a good board for my 212x, I'd go that route for sure!
I just bought the 21' version 2 weeks ago after hunting all over the internet....ended up buying it from my local dealer. They had 4 in stock and the booster kit w/out the board was $800. That was about the lowest price I could find for just the booster. Some places as other have said, want more than $1k....very happy we found it. Picked up the transom bag and ski locker bag and we are ready to go rope-less now!
I can hook you up for sure. I carry all the Slingshot boards, including the Coaster (minus the Yamaha branding) that's sold with the kit. If you'd like, I can message you to get some sizing info and quote you some options?

That would be great. I really don't know what I should be looking for!
Yes we recieved the scupper cover with our 21' kit as well. Keep us posted on your outcome. We are still trying to dial in on going ropeless.I also just received a 212x Wakebooster Kit (F3R-K7910-V0-00, no board, no surf rope) for $800 (includes tax and free shipping) that I ordered from Leaders RPM through Ebay 2 days ago (shipped MI to OH). I had to contact them as the image is obviously not the Wakebooster Kit to confirm it really is the kit. And it is... see the image of what I just received via UPS this morning. I wasn't aware of the 'Scupper Cover Plate' that sticks on to the back of the hull. I guess this prevents water from backwashing. Did others receive this w/ their kit?

Same kit I got too. Look in your bag for a black web nylon strap with clips on it. That is, according to the directions, the buoy tie up, and not that stupid white rope. Don't forget to clean your hull with rubbing alcohol and let that scupper cover stick on for 24 hours before dunking it. I haven't been impressed with the wake booster yet, honestly.I also just received a 212x Wakebooster Kit (F3R-K7910-V0-00, no board, no surf rope) for $800 (includes tax and free shipping) that I ordered from Leaders RPM through Ebay 2 days ago (shipped MI to OH).

I believe the rope (as pictured in the Yamaha ads) was the first generation way of making the float attach to the wakebooster. Then someone probably said "hey, for $800, maybe we give the customers something more than a piece of scrap anchor rope from a sunk Bayliner?"
