You could modify one and try it if you have one. If you don't have one, the home made boards are cheaper to make than the commercial ones are to buy. You wouldn't have to have a mast with reels on it just to try it out. You could probably just tie it to a forward cleat on your boat. You will need to keep the tow line from dragging in the water. The large boards pull away from the boat harder than the inline boards and would provide a more stable platform from which to drag your crank baits. This way they would pop free from the board better when you catch a fish. Also, you can attach more than one line to a large board. I have both types and use them both. There are "pros" and "cons" to both types.
Good Luck!
