It might be a tight fit, I think they would fit but wonder if they would protrude out into the walkspace more then a lee jr, making them harder to get around. I would get better size specs and make a template on the boat itself before buying....also sounds like either the guy does not know how to use them or one might be broken, not sure since it sounds like he does not know much about them. They do seem like they were ment for a larger boat though, if the price is right and you get better specs go for it, otherwise I'd wait for either rupp or lee's in the wishbone style.
