It's done, closed on a 1990 48 Californian MY

After 16 flights, 5 surveys, about one year of looking, I'm sleeping on my boat tonight. More to come in the next days, but I did find some of the original manuals that I will get scanned and uploaded.

Congratulations! Add pictures please. And why 5 surveys? Different boats?

5 surveys, each on a different boat, this was the only on that made it all the way to haulout and back, A some point in its life the boat had a very good owner who had the interior professionaly done and took car of it. The current owner didn't tame care of it but I got it before he did serious damage

The photos look nice even with the dreaded sideways posting. I hate it when it does that and I never know when it will. Have fun with your new baby.

She looks great! Lots of room and storage on those 48's.

Do you have Cats?

Congrats on a beauty.

Sideways, yep, going to have to figure that out, because they look fine on my desktop and everywhere else. So everyone else is have that problem too? and it's random ?

Yes, this 48 Californian had the 3208 375hp's.

The bimini top is a material I can identify yet, and the poles and fitting area all 1 in stainless steel, not the usual aluminium.

Here is a test of pictures and rotation

Comments after post. Interesting, I edited each picture and rotated one to the right and another one to the left, and left one straight up....and they all came out the same, go figure that one out !

Did you use a phone to take the pics? Did you hold it in landscape or portrait orientation? I understand that may be the key. This won't help with these, but your next pics can be the real test.

I can’t figure out why they post sideways or upside down. It doesn’t seem to matter what I do, I can edit them and rotate them and they still come out wrong.

Just downloaded them to my Mac and reorientated them, re-saving them rewrites the "EXIF orientation values". Some devices don't seem do a good job of doing that in the first place. I get this a lot when members take photos on their smart phones for publication on our clubs website so now I do it automatically before I publish them......

Thanks for the fix on the pictures. The windows package that I used didn't change the "EXIF" correctly I'm guessing. The Admiral, a graphic artiest, will watch over my pictures uploads from now on !
