I can see it now.....the planer board shoots out of the water with a diver aboard...nails the side of the boat....the diver scrambles aboard...whips off his wetsuit showing a black tuxedo underneath and says....
"the name is Butcher....Tim Butcher" :mean:

Tim: why don't you submit this as a new thread in DIY section - ah I mean a board not body shot!

Take photo of design and see who has already gone down this path.

Might be helpful to get info. on suggested safety procedures
such as: how do you signal tow boat if required in case of diver entanglement - 2nd line you can tug for reduce/increase speed; mask loss or free flow generated by speed/water turbulence. Require geared up diver on-board for rescue, contingencies?

Design characteristics - means for DIVER to quick release board from line. Presumably diver will have hand holds to release himself but I'm thinking of entanglement again, i.e. zip through some fishing line which takes your mask and/or reg and snare you to board (bit of a reach I know but s$!t happens).

Low viz makes this a little more exciting than a scooter which you can independently operated. Maybe Mike D can jump in or you might email him for input...

We have a float on the boat end of the quik release, so when it pops up spotter knows the diver is has released the board form the towline. There is a marker float attached tot he board to mark where the diver is. Then we wait for the diver to surface or his buddy. Gotta remember we are not moving too fast.....(unless my 16 yr old is manning the boat)

Is the planer board something that is easy to make?From plywood or fiberglass?I seem to remember seing a picture of one somewhere and it looked to be of verysimple design.Does anyone have drawings or a picture?
