If fed on a relatively conservative diet(enough food to keep their body shape in check), males will likely never get much over the 6' mark and females not likely to get much over the 8' mark. It really depends but you can keep your boa small without starving it and conservative feeding will make for a much healthier boa than one that is obese. If you want to know more about my conservative feeding, let me know
I was really looking for some info on this myself; it is the best description of how I feed my BCI male also.

What advice can I give about boas? They are awesome snakes, but they are really pretty different than a ball python. Their size is one thing; they are alrger but also a bit more agile and prehensile-tailed than a BP.. the others have said all the technical stuff.
