I use boards I made myself from plans a Michigan friend sent me. My boards stay out where I put them and the line is held with a release similar to a downrigger release. The release is attached to a shower curtain hook that slides down the planner board line and can be stopped anywhere on the line allowing more than one fishing line per board set, if needed. They work better than anything I've seen in Sportsmans.
I built a set (2) for under $40 to include all materials and painting. Actually I built two sets, one for me and one for a buddy. Then my neighbor built a set last year for his pontoon boat. The plans include dimensions for two sizes of boards which will cover about every size boat application.
