Abstract
A hydraulically adjustable planing device mounted midship on a pontoon boat to provide lift to the pontoon boat and reduce drag. The adjustable planing device includes a modular frame and an adjustable planing plate. A front end of the planing plate is rotatably attached to a front member of the modular frame such that the planing plate is movable between a raised position wherein the planing plate is above the waterline and a lowered position wherein a rear end of the planing plate engages the waterline to lift the pontoon boat. In another form, the adjustable planing device includes two or more longitudinally extending planing plates that are individually operable between raised and lowered positions to provide lateral trimming and improved steering of the boat. Optionally, a single skirt plate is attached to each rear end of the single or multiple planing plate(s) for additional lift for longer pontoon boats.
