the legs are not the same length mine which are orginal are 39 1/2 and 41 3/4 long not sure which one goes forward when installed the legs go all the way to the bottom of the bilge.
They do look tall but remember they insert all the way to the top of the table
I recommend that you put some silcone grease or simliar on the legs when installing them they have been know to get stuck (The tube corodes in place)

I too cut off the legs at the base with a dremmel. I looked at having some wooden legs made for the table, either as replacement legs or inserts for the existing legs. I did not want to use metal legs due to the corrosion issue as I experienced with the original design. I finally went with PCV pipes as inserts in the existing legs and that fit in the holes above the keel. The PCV pipe didn't seem strong enough, so I got a smaller diameter PCV pipe that was a tight fight inside the original PCV pipe. This worked fine.
I have probably used the table about 5-10 times in the 30 years I have owned the boat. The most use the table gets is me taking it off the boat every time I go sailing. But if I ever want to use it, I can get the legs in and out with no problem.
