Planer Board Plans

[ReelTime]

I HAD a pair of Amish boards. Ran them once and sold them. My home made boards pull twice as good. Weight is the key. They got to sit down far on the water.

Here are pics of the my folding Mastercraft boards. They work OK but they tend to lag back and turns have to be done wide. I was thinking of taking the hardware off these and mounting on something a bit bigger with a little more weight. Any thoughts

Those Super Ski Boards suck they dont pull hard and the folding hardware always loosnes up. I use the same plans that were posted above for my boards. Mine pull like 30lb king..lol I added no weight all I did was draw the front of the inside board in towards the outer board about 3/4- 1"and it did the trick. Try that for harder pulling boards.

How low do those boards sit in the water? Just a thought ,I would use those boards just reconfigure them. typically the outside board is forward, if you relocated the folding hardware to change the stagger, and relocated the towing eye like the plans they might pull harder and still fold and it looks like it would only be a matter of drilling a few holes [you might have to play around with the location of the towing eye] JMHO
