Planer board

A trolling assembly comprising three substantially identical planer boards, the boards each being a buoyant, flat, elongated, rectangular member having a central, longitudinally aligned slot terminating short of each end of the board and having one of its flat end surfaces tapered toward the opposed flat end surface so as to form a relatively sharp leading edge;

• and a pair of extension arms connecting said planer boards to one another in stacked, parallel relationship consisting of two outside boards sandwiching a center planar board, each arm having its midpoint pivotally connected to the center planer board of said stack at the central slot, for movement in a plane transverse to the plane of said board, the two arms being spaced from one another along said central slot, and each arm having two opposed ends similarly pivotally connected to the two outside boards of the stack at pivotal axes disposed within the central slots of said two outside boards, whereby said arms may be positioned to extend generally transverse to the planes of the boards so that the boards are supporting in spaced parallel relationship to one another or the arms may be positioned in a retracted position in which the arms lie substantially within said slots and the opposed planer surfaces of the three boards abut one another in a collapsed position.
