no...don't know any of that....

I do get a kick out of people saying that sp would hose down the boat right after fishing in the bay because everyone knows that salt is corrosive....hah

.everybody also knows that a 14 foot boat is not the best choice for bay fishing for sturgeon, and probably 0930 am is not the best time to leave for a day of fishing ..

Yeah, I've heard all the speculations about if this was the proper boat or time to go fishing. But without an answer to the question of whether this boat was ever in the sea can only lead me to think that this 'huge' news in nothing.

From what I've read on this thread one of two things is possible.

1. He washed all the salt water off...doubtful.

2.The boat was never in salt water....ever.

[PFKEY]

If you follow my reasoning here you will see why these questions are vital.

If the boat has never been in salt water...bingo! Add another item to the list of circumstances that point to SP being a liar.

If the boat has been in salt water before and the cops can't find a trace of salt water then it would be reasonable to believe that washing/hosing a boat down is very effective in removing the trace of salt water.

The reason for the debate over whether Scott hosed down his boat and flushed out the engine is his alibi. He claims he was fishing in the Berkeley Marina the day his wife went missing.

It's important to know if there is evidence of salt water on his boat. If there is none and he won't tell whether he hosed it down good, then he isn't being forthcoming. I would bet this is one of the things that the police would like to talk with Scott about. Like, where did you wash it, and when, etc.
