  Looks like a nice fit!  Definitely a lot of valuable space to lose though.  I can see other things getting packed in around it making it more of a pain to take out (hopefully not).  I have a 3.3hp Merc as well & it is a great motor!

  It's only under the seat while we are under way... As soon as we reach our destination we put it on the dink.

  You have the dingy package I believe - I have the same as well. I have a pretty nice blow of that is pretty substantial, just no motor. It would take a small electric motor, it has a piece of wood I'm the transom. Have not used it yet. I need a short trolling motor..

  Interesting, I was wondering why those pieces were molded like that under the seat.. I actually just bought a dingy and a 4hp merc 2stroke... going to use it when the water gets cooler.. so this is where you put the motor, where do you store the gas tank ?

  Most motors under 5hp the tank is top of motor.

  @J3ff - pretty sure the 4hp Merc is the same as mine.... takes a little wiggling to get it in there.

  does it actually get the dingy on plane? I had an 8hp at one point that did just fine, but it was too big and too heavy so I sold it..

  See everyone wants to go fast. With a 4hp just be happy your going with the wind.
