18.5 inches to the exact center.
Here is a video of my Cub on the Hanger 9 floats.

I am using a DLE 30, the lake that is in the video is at 4000 feet. So the extra power is needed. You could use that in Colo. I have flown at lakes up to 9000 feet with electrics just add a bigger prop and your good to go. You have to keep up your speed but other than that it is a lot of fun.
I go up to Twin Lakes too, that is at 7200 feet.
Here is another video from Lake Hemet https://vimeo.com/27220388 it has a electric 110 running 8 cells, I really had to change a lot on this plane to get it flown.
Glad I could help, by the way I used to live in Lakewood the Estes Park and had friends in Littleton, great town.

Yes you have been pretty hot up there lately. Where do you fly floats? Chatfield dam? I had the fuel lines melt inside the cowl once so be careful around the muffler. By your online name you must be a pilot for United. I got to get into the training center at Stapleton with my sons, humbling to try and land a 737. Not good.

Must be around Broomfield. I believe that there are some lakes there, next to Rocky Flats?
Have fun with your Cub. The one thing that I did before flying those floats was to glass the bottom forward of the step. Those floats can break around 8 inches in from of the step. I ran two layers over the front and three layers down the middle. Now they are stronger and will not pop.
Hope that helps

Seaplane supply makes some great foam floats, I think flat bottoms are the best. http://www.seaplanesupply.com/
Make a video when your finished I would love to see your plane on the water.
