Fishkiller has plans to build them pretty cheap and they track great so i will make them. He said he made his snd they are great. I like my inlines but big boards are the way, i am starting to believe.

Mine are homemade also. I was gonna build a set as I have plans saved in my computer for them but ended up buying mine in the package deal. I'll post the plans when I get home from work today. There's a wide array of wood that can be used for boards. And everyone is bias to them floating high or sitting low for more bite.
I've never used inlines. Only big boards.

I don't think the plastic ones will ride right and bite enough. You don't want them to start hopping out of the water with 3 lines on them each when it gets a little wavy. They are fairly simple to make. One long board, a miter or circular saw, drill and some threaded rod, nuts and eyelets and your fishing

i troll with a electric trolling motor 55 lb. trust (i bring an x-tra battery) and troll with the current. against the current i can troll at 1.6 mph. ea battery will last 4-hrs ea. when both are spent i use my 115 (i know not so great) but i throw it in and out of gear - i won't back troll, no transom back splash guard, i do have a drift bag that i will use tomorrow (waves less than 1 ft.)

so yes its ugly and i'm jimmying my troll until i get a kicker next year but, my boat is fairly light 18' lund w/85" beam - she skiny.

any thoughts here

I use a model called Super Ski. They actually belong to my cousin in law. What i like about them is that they fold up. Making them more easily storred.as far as i'm concerned they work great. I'm not sure even if they are still available. ??

Fished 1/2 day yesterday in 58-60 fow out of SP on fench @ condos. Boated 6 eyes. One of them had the virus. The inside of fillets looked like old freezerburn. Dried up orangeish spots. Matches the virus report in the Fishline article. All good size fish except for one, Dipsey's and riggers. 30-40 ft. down on dipseys and popping riggers. Boards next week. Going to Cooperstown to watch grandson (Ty-Lure) play in tourament and check out hall of fame. Given the fish a break. "Good Fish'n Everyone......."

Copo, yesterday was 7 + 8 color off the inline boards. Bailey are you buying or making boards, if your buying them which ones ??? if I buy I might go with the Amish Outfitters white plastic boards. Anyone have opinions on which board to buy please shout it out. If I make my own, there's prints online you can get and Jim has prints he said he'd copy.

I have a set of the AO white Pro boards.... sweet...pull like a mule. I have used many over the years, super ski (discontinued), Otter Boats, home made, singles/doubles/triples, and these are simply the BEST yet. They fold up for easy storage. A lot of guys run the redwood version of these boards (because they are worried that the pro boards pull too hard (they are also $10 less expensive) and love them as well. If you decide to try either of these boards I recommend getting the large board snubbers he makes as well, as these will help reduce the shock to your mast/hardtop

FWIW.. I have no affiliation financial or other wise with Amish Outfitters

I use the AO Redwood boards and are very pleased with them, run 3-4 lines off each side with ease. I went with the redwood because the reason shorthanded spoke of, afraid of the composite pulling to hard.

Fished sunday out of SP, boxed 5 and dropped 1 all on the fence. 2 off boards and 3 off riggers. All colors worked, down speed was 1.5 - 1.8.
