These guys are aluminum and the front section was 20" between the hole that the slide piece fits in. They fold up flat so I unfolded them and measured between the holes until my stick hit the 20" mark. The back section will be a bit trickier as there are three slide pieces (hope that makes sense). Jerry made a great diagram that shows all the dimensions on the boat. Quite cool.
I think that after my 2 appointments for prom dresses come next week, I will move the bows downstairs into my new room. Weather is going to be wintery again. For the last 10 days, we have been in the high 50's to mid 70's (76 was our high yesterday), so I haven't minded going in and out of the garage. That is going to change and it will be much more convenient to have them downstairs.
