Well put Brian, I have found very similar generic sizes throughout the paddles I have made. Most of the sizes I have made range from 82" through 88". I have also found that boats with a wider beam need a slightly longer paddle, otherwise there is a tendency to bump the boat as you pull through a stroke.
