Here's a link to a Steam Side Wheeler being built and steamed. Enjoy...

These are large photos and can be opened even larger. This is the photo page of one of our Staff Members @ KSW. This is the "Wilhelmina," (37' Hull, 46' Overall, 8' wide, steel hull, flat bottom, sternwheeler.) Currently she's laid up in our yard at Steam HQ getting some repairs and a whole new canopy (and waiting to find funding for it all ). We're planning to get her back on the bay and delta by summertime.

Hope this helps: http://troyewelch.com/ksw/Wilhelmina_hull.html

I have many more pictures of different side wheelers. One website I found helpful with pictures i'll attach a link to. There's also another paddle wheeler named Raecarol at a whole website of steamboats. Ill attach a link to that also. I look forward to seeing & hearing more about your project! More of the pictured boat is at the very bottom link. (sorry about the size of the picture)

Saw this steam powered canoe paddleing around the mill pond at Hanford Mills in 2009. Don't know anything about it other than what you can see in the pictures.
