Wayne, I am just giving a another point of view. The pproblem you are having can be solved by adding a snubber to your boards and keeping the planner board line as low as possiable. The higher the planner board line up on the boat the more the planner boards will pull tight and slack causing the planner board to come out of the water. Next time you are out in the water watch your gunnel does not roll as much as the top of the mask the higher on the boat you go up the more you will have problems if you want you can call me and I will tell you how I solved the problems I can troll up to 6 foot waves with the proper setup.
