I have a Honda 2HP four-stroke and I may put it in the water as early as this afternoon if the rain clears off. I'll post "results" after that. I do know that even inverted on the foredeck, it doesn't take up a vast amount of room. Folded up, it's really nothing lashed to the rail, or it would easily mount on the pilothouse roof.

When we first started using ours, I anticipated that we would assemble it for the season and then leave it stowed on deck upside down. It actually assembles and disassembles so easily, that we break it down after each trip and tie it to the lifelines. Takes five minutes for the two of us to put it together and pitch it over the side. With a 3 h.p. Johnson, it will get me and the dog up on a plane. I ran around to the south side of the island we were anchored on this past weekend to load up an additional 30 lbs of firewood and we got on a plane on the way back too. I wasn't sure if this was going to be our final dinghy or not, but we're two very satisfied customers right now and I think this will be the one we go cruising with.
