Default Oar length

We bought a 14' x 5' johnboat. It did not come with oars and I want to buy
some. How long should they be? I am about 5' 6" tall if that is important.

Default Oar length

A quick Google search on "oar length calculation" brought up this link:

Look towards the lower part of the page.
