Width of seat

Anybody know how wide the boards are on a OT 1923 seat? Have existing seats but don't think they are original. Ripping down new boards this afternoon to build new seat frames.

Thanks, Mike Emanuel
 
Thanks Gary. That should get me close. I'll measure the seats I have and see how far they are off. Making new ones regardless. Only have 7/8" ash so they may be a little thick or I might rip them down to 3/4".
 
Glad it could help, it bailed me out! I left mine a little thicker as the person I'm giving the canoe to is a big guy.
 
I'm 6-3, 200. But they seem awful thick. I'll sleep on it and tomorrow I'll decide before trimming.
