Hopefully, SP doesn't own a flush kit for the engine. One wouldn't expect to find any saltwater inside the engine IF he flushed it. That's the whole idea of a flush kit. If he doesn't own a flush kit, then maybe that is why LE is focusing on that aspect. Another poster pointed out that Berkely Marina has facilities there for boaters to clean the saltwater from their boats. We also have the report of the police finding a blue tarp in the SF Bay and the search dogs hitting on it for Laci's scent, so there's another variable in the story. The absence of saltwater from SP's boat is not as big as some have made it out to be. My family owns a vacation property on the gulf coast of FL. We keep a 24' Center Console ouboard fishing boat there. You would be hard pressed to find any saltwater in it when I get done cleaning it out, and the only water it ever sees is saltwater. Saltwater is VERY damaging, and one pays dearly for not getting rid of it. SP doesn't strike me as the type that is that thorough however, and it may turn into something, but then again, maybe not.
