Inflating the dink takes about 15 minutes total, from unbagging, inserting the floor panels, inflating it and putting on the motor and fuel tank. Granted, that's 15 minutes of sweaty work, with the single biggest hassle being the floor panels. They're great for stability but a challenge to set up.
The Weaver setup, including the engine tilting mechanism, is definitely a quality product. Not cheap but clearly worth the money spent. You just have to consider whether it's the right style for you. For us it isn't because of how it blocks the view. Oh and you still have to stow the gas tank somewhere.
I like the Moeller Dinghy Mate transom mounted kind:
It comes in a 3 or a 6 gallon size. I have the 3 gallon one. It fits just inside the transom. Those metal brackets on the top slide back to grip the transom. I got lucky and found one cheap, second-hand, at a local boat place (Bacons, in Annapolis). It really frees up the floor area. That and the size of it fits reasonably well in my transom locker (now that I removed the shelf).
I use a 6hp 2-stroke Johnson outboard on mine. The 2-stroke motors are a lot lighter than their 4-stroke equivalents. But they're also noiser and come with the typical 2-stroke smoke. That and the 2-stroke engines can be stored at any angle. Not much of an issue when you've got that nice engine pivot bracket though. That and 2-stroke motors are pretty hard to get in the US these days, rightly so due to their emissions. I think sales of them are getting phased out entirely relatively soon. If I had a better place to stow a 4-stroke I'd certainly consider getting one.
