Anyone out there have a Ranger rig that they get through a 9' wide door?

I have a 20' Angler, which Ranger says is 102" on the trailer. The boat is at my dealer now so I can't go grab a measurement. But I'm in the process of ordering a garage door for installation on a new garage/shop I'm building. I have a rough opening for a 9x8' door now, so that's 108" wide. Therefore, at least in theory, it's about 6" wider than the boat on the trailer. Even with an inch or so taken out for trim around the door, I should still have about 4-5" clearance.

By the way--I won't be backing it in with a truck. We'll just push the thing into the shop for the winters. Basically then, I only have to get it through the door two times a year. The rest of the time (during fishing season), it can go into my attached garage, which has a 16' door--but the boat can't be stored there for the winter, so it needs to go into the new "shop" building I'm building.

Thanks.
