Longtime forum lurker, finally decided to join. I saw the thread on motor mounting, thought I would post a picture of my factory mount. I own a 14.2 Expo, I haven't seen many pictures on here of one. I use a Honda 2hp motor, saw many recommendations on this forum for that particular model.
My basic impressions of the 14.2 Expo is a it is a very easy boat to sail. I have sailed some Sunfish, but this is in a different league. We have painted our hull and leave it in the lake, we just unstrap the main and go. Goes into the wind well, downwind it seems to suffer from the lack of a Jib sail. Very roomy inside, you do not need to duck when the boom swings over. Here are some pics of the mount and the boat:
