I bought the Khats this spring and at 5'3" am still struggling to get a good 
tight fit in it.  The foot pegs were positioned on the reinforcement bars 
but Feathercraft is going to do a retrofit for me to put them back on the 
chines.  Without getting this correction, it's pretty difficult to brace 
properly.  (I'm going to check with Feathercraft on those new hip pads.)

I had tried various things to get a tight fit -- moving my seat up or would 
have to sit in an almost yoga position to get my thighs to be touching the 
sides of the boat which was a tad bit uncomfortable after awhile, even for 
an ex-gymnast.

I'd say for someone 5', it will probably be way too big.
