I would stay away from all the big name manufacturer's boards (Riveria, Big Jon, walker, maybe a couple of more)their mast systems and planer reels are ok though but their boards are just 2 lite and ride back behind your boat and they don't turn well either, they also allow your tow line to get in the water which is not good as that causes alot of false releases and makes it harder for your releases to slide down the tow line. The more lines that you will be running off your boards the harder the boards need to pull as the extra drag of fishing lines cause the boards to slide back (lag behind) and the harder pulling boards counter that somewhat.
Good boards to consider would be those made by Amish Outfitters, Aurora Lites or custom make your own, PM me if you want free plans to build your own. There is nothing magical to making planer boards the hard part is getting the tow line attachment bolt in the right spot and the compound angles cut on the lead edge.Wakina
