Please check the thread started by Fred on 5/1/16. Amish Outfitter boards are mentioned. I would add Aurora Lites( pricey but good). Many of us make our own. I made mine out of Azek board. This is a building material which handles much like wood, it floats, and is impervious to water. It can also be ordered in board lengths like wood. I made mine out of this material and it floats just deep enough in the water to pull hard without having to add ballast. I believe the two boards I mentioned above are made of this material of something similar. Hope this helps.
