The idea behind planer boards is not to get more lines in the water, but to get the lures away from the boat. When fishing in shallow water or for boat shy fish, boards will out fish your other presentations. I use a home made mast which slips into my front seat hole ( no boat modifications ! ). You can run bigger, heavier things off a big board such as mini-dipseys or lead-core or big cranks and snap weights. Also if you are running 5 lines off a boat with an 8' transom, those lines would be awfully close to eachother.
