Correct distance apart for mooring ties poles?

[Mike Madeira Beach]

Hi All,
We have just purchased an Irwin Citation 38, she has a 12ft 6 beam. We are arranging to have tie poles installed to the right of our dock and are wondering what the correct/desirable width is?

I am thinking around 16 feet? Allowing just under 2 foot either side?

Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.

Your suggested 16 feet should be reasonable.
The pilings that I have measure just shy of 20 feet from the wall side. I'm used to the reach for my lines which stay on the pilings. I can reach them with a long boat hook.
