Lots of people use a router and fixture to make long boat panels. Others, myself included, use a power plane. It is fast and the laminations show clearly where more has to be removed.

It is feasable. It's also rather tedious. Alternatives are a circular saw with a jig (very fast, but limited to thin ply); a handplane used freehand (simple, and fairly quick on thinner pieces); a powerplane used freehand (quick, easy to get carried away and plane more than intended); or a belt sander (hard to be accurate with).
I do mine with a handplane. If I was doing a lot, I'd probably go for a circular saw jig.
