What's your budget? How big are you?

Here's a good 134 package for $269:

Or a better 139 package for $399:

This 140 isn't bad for $279

If you can handle it, get that Evo package for $269. You'll enjoy it much more than the stuff you proposed. What prices are you getting for that stuff?

on one site i could get this setup for $113.00 is that a good price

Wow, that's cheap.

What size shoe do you wear? If he still has it and you can fit a medium, this could be a VERY good deal on something you'll enjoy for a long time:

Or you could see if this is still available and find out how much he wants:

I just wouldn't recommend that other setup to anyone that intends to get in to wakeboarding. You'll want to replace it pretty quickly. If you can scrape up a little more, there are some great deals out there. If not, get that setup, just be aware that you'll replace it next spring if you don't replace it this season.

what bindings

That board is a great beginner board. very forgiving. I don't know anything about the bindings though. I think LF offers that board in a package for like $199 with a pair of their low cut lace up bindings.
