I've got some DIY's that fold up so they are not as bulky. Double board set up. Get some pic in a minute.
I have been boat less for a few years so they have been gathering dust...literally. But you can see the basic design.
These pics are from 2 boards, The Port board is shown with out it's attachment eye bolt but the other board shows the bolt in place on 1 piece of thee starboard board.
One thing that is noticeable in the pic is the different holes in inside starboard board, so that the angle of pull can be adjusted. The farther back from center you place the line attachment, the more angle away from the boat the planer has. This is also affected by the distance from the planer the line attachment is. Mine is kind of long.(lever)![[Image: 20220408-080504.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/JHGJ539P/20220408-080504.jpg)
To store, unfasten one end of the center cross piece and the other 2 pivot and the 2 boards fold flat to each other. This center cross piece should have multiple holes in it as well for adjustment of the length of the overall planner for wave conditions. The photo (pinterest) I worked from had metal extensions on the front for even more pull, But I didn't find I needed them.
I think the angle is 60 degrees and the rake is 15.
