    January 15th, 2013 at 7:32 pm Amazing… There are allot of long hours involved in there! What is the coating on the walls? Is it a spray on ceramic insulation like Lizard Skin… http://www.lizardskin.com/

    The engine room surfaces and indeed the rest of the topsides and deck are coated in an Armaflex product.

    January 15th, 2013 at 9:30 pm Workmanship is great I should say also as an engineer. Better than many airplane makes, and from a certification standpoint, this is serious above and beyond the call of duty. Obviously they love their work at Circa.

    January 18th, 2013 at 8:37 am Never noticed the ladder and hatch above the work bench before has it always been there? Nice to have natural light in the engine room.

    January 29th, 2013 at 10:47 pm Noticed a shield over the drive shaft drip less stuffing box. I’m I correct?

    Yes. Like all PYI “dripless” shaft seals, they spray a little.
