I think the price is around $375. I also read in "Living Aboard" that you can simply use an insulated wire that is supported by the backstay. I suppose that it would make sense to use standoffs. Also, it would be best to use wire rated for UV exposure.

I have been using with great success a large alligator clip on to a chainplate bolt. My mast and rigging were not bonded. Downside: I don't know if any of the bottoms of the other rigging are energized, so I need to keep people away from all rigging while transmitting. The counterpoise of my antenna ("ground") is the lifeline system.

Antenna attaches to backstay without need to cut backstay and insert insulators.
