when I downloaded this picture, I had to go out to the shop and check these boards to see if they were flat across or not,  what do you guy's say ?

Is it an illusion because of the angled cuts on the transom ?

Yeah, Illusion because of the transom and the camera is tilted and that adds to it. Besides we know you wouldn't unintentionally put anything together crooked Red.  :D

It's too early in the morning to be looking at stuff like this!

Yes ... it sure looks like they are crooked to me, so I had to go out and double check , when I put the pic's on my computer they looked like that, but they are flat as a string line, pictures are decieving.

I think Joe nailed it. It's cuz of the angled cuts on the transom.

Here's another example: In this pic it kinda looks like the inner panels of the 'flotation boxes' lean outward, but they don't.
