My 2 cents, Like mentioned, Big boards for running a lot of rods. But running 8 inlines and 2 down rods ( 10 rods total) really isn't a problem. A good friend of mine on his Islander runs 6 inlines per side most everyday on Sag Bay. Plus the down rods. (14 rods total) He mainly runs harnesses.
If you plan to run a lot of harnesses and using inline weights and running slower speeds where big boards can be more difficult to run unless you have a taller boat ( the main line stays out of the water much better) inline boards are the way to go.
Jets are kind of required for pulling harnesses as they have a dive curve where inline weights are speed sensitive, with jets speed does not affect your depth. Also your actual diving depth using big boards and inline weights is affected by the amount of line out of the water. Not a lot, but can be a factor.
If you set up your inlines to release the front clip, you never fight the board and the released board swings to the rear of the boat. Tattle flags when set up correctly can tell you when you have just a few weeds on your lure.
Now if your going to want to mainly troll with a lot of rods/people, run cranks or spoons for the most part. Big boards would be my choice. But 80+ % of my fishing involves pulling meat. So I stay with inline boards that I have modified to work for me.
