We have 2 planks on our roof and have sometimes used them as gangplanks to get ashore. Side-by-side when you walk along the 'seam' they are stable and don't bounce.
We use one to raise the back deck cover whilst away from the boat... placing one end on the steering-stick-thingy and the other on the edge of the sliding hatch. Like this, leaving this in place on return to the boat and first evening, it provides 'an extra room' for our gear/luggage.

Stout plank is useful as @loddon says for levering when grounded. A pole is no good for that unless you have a proper scaff pole. If it's wrapped at the ends with metal it's probably a banded scaffold board. If so those bands are a bit of a paint scratching problem. The other option is cut it up for the err... Fire... Some wise plank-related words there methinks. It is an extremely stout plank though- stouter than I think I might actually like- I fear it will not go gently into that goodnight, when I take the saw to it.... |

I'm a little plank,
Shorter and stout,
That's 'cos Tony,
Sawed off my snout!
Plank molester!
