question: adding side storage along one side

[thatdoggjake]

I started adding a side storage to my bass tracker hull. I framed it up and put one side peice of aluminum on. I measured from the floor up when I framed out my box. But when I step back from it the box does not match the lines in my hull. Should I have built my side storage to match the side of my hull or did I do ok to make it perpendicular to the floor? I was going to take pictures of it to post, but it got too dark. I drew a little sketch in paint to try to show you what I'm looking at.

the yellow area in my picture is my new storage (used for guns/rods). The area above the yellow is the rest of the the sides I have from the top of the storage to the top of the hull. It is probably a 3 or 4 inch difference from front to back. If I would have followed my sides it would of left me with a box that was 12" up front and 9" tall in the back.

Doesn't really make a difference... I'd rather have it level with the floor

Yea, personal preference, but I agree. I would rather have it level with the floor, would make getting in and out stepping on it easier as well as more stable if you have to stand on it.
