I have a 9ft on my 20ft triton.  I put mine almost up to the bow eye.

I just purchased the recomended size for my 17' boat.  It was the 6' for 17' and 18' boats.  I was debating on getting the 5' because I really didnt think I need the 6'.  But then I was thinking better safe then sorry! Imagine going to beach your boat on a launch or something and you scrape your keel. Only because you didnt buy the correct kellguard. 8)

I have a zx200 with a 7ft keel guard on it. It goes from the eye all the way to just about where the keel flatens out. It looks great and was pretty easy to install. I'm glad I got it.
