Recommendations for a dinghy?

I am going to put my CD 25 on a mooring this summer but I have no dinghy. I am looking for a good deal for something sturdy. Any thoughts on the outboard is appreciated also.

Clueless about exhaust port

No experience with outboards before this purchase. Where would the exhaust port be on my Yamaha? It's not below the water line normally? My CD 25 already has the ventilation ports on the hatch cover. I can orient one forward and one backwards.

CD 25 Outboard hatch opened or closed?

I purchased a CD 25 and the yard mechanic told me to always keep the outboard hatch open when running. The CD 25 came with a Yamaha 8hp. The outboard is practically in your lap with 25 configuration and really annoying. Do I really need to keep the hatch open to run the outboard? What is the issue?
