I have a McGregor Venture 23. The spreaders are fairly long so the shroud turns in sharply. I once owned a Gulf Coast 21 and the spreader was much shorter. The shrouds were almost straight. My guess is that it will not make much difference, however the shrouds should turn inward. One minor point, can you shorten the shrouds enough for the modification? Dan McGuire
