1911 Old Town HW - Need some beam measurements.

I'm restoring a 1911 Old Town HW. I'm about to do a bit of frame work, but before I do that, I'd like to make sure I've got the beam/gunnels constrained/strapped into the correct shape. (The gunnels are currently off, and I don't want to steam frames into a canoe that has sprung.)

I'm hoping someone could provide measurement's of their HW's beam (to the outside of the planking, not the outwhale). I'm hoping for measurements every 18" or so. I know that at the widest, the beam should be 33". If you're out there, I'd love your help.

Thanks!

Here's a current photo ...

How long is your boat? Especially with measurements every 18", a 16'er would be very different than an 18'er... I have a 1918 17'er.
 
Ah-ha, sorry about that! My Old Town HW is 16 feet.

(Also, apologies to the forum for posting this thread in the wrong category. It should be under "Wood Canvas / Fiberglass." I'm not sure how to move it.)
