FishHawker,
Here is a
link to a simple set of boards.
The line attaching them to the boat is usualy weed-wacker line or 700# test mono.
Attached with 75' line, you might get 50 feet out from each side.
From that you can run 3 lines. The lines can be attached with rubber bands or "scotty clips".
That's the basics. Check around the fishing shows starting in January and you can find other plans or complete boards.
