In regards to the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers part # CE27620, the length of the boat would not be an issue. In order to confirm compatibility you'll need to verify the frame rails don't exceed 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall and that the adjustable width of 13" from each end of the trailer will work with your boat.

Please note, we also offer the CE Smith Bunk Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers part # CE27671 which are specifically for pontoon boats.
