fishon64 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) I made these boards from the plans off the BOQ web site. I took them out to test and at 2mph and 50' of line out...the boards seem to be to dragging and to far back not out to the sides. I was on another boat & his boards went out to the sides very well. Have I assembled them incorrectly...is the pull screw to far back. They have an offset of 4" with a 30 degree bevel on the tips. They are 9" apart..28" long made of red cedar...float very well. Any ideas would be a great help. Thanks Edited November 14, 2008 by Skipper Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 being right upfront here: I know squat about planer boards, but, I think the type of wood/flotation is important info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outllaw Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 from what i see your pull screw is to far back. whats the distance between skis. i normally weight my boards at the rear lower of each skie. .. at slower speeds boards normally drag back just a little.

brifishrgy Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Have I assembled them incorrectly...is the pull screw to far back I would say you are too close to the front .. think of it like a kite .. if the kite rope was in the front it wouldnt fly .. put the rope in the middle and it lifts almost straight up .. I would move the pull screw a few inches back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
