The power of the planer is dependent upon a few things. The more surface area underwater for the water to push against, the more power the board will have. 6" under water is 2 times as powerful as 3" under water. The less likely the planer is to skip or tip toward the boat, the more power it will have. Weighting here helps with tipping, skipping, and the amount of the planer under water. The pull point sets the angle against the flow of the water. Tinker with that and you will find a sweet spot. I have some, that as another post stated, will pull the boat around pretty good when you retrieve them.
