Default Boat Design Engine Placement

Mercury already has the engine/drive demensions programed into a CAD file so they can be easily integrated into the design of a hull. I am working on a design project right now and does anyone know where I can get the CAD files? If someone has them in a format compatable with AutoCad or any Linux based CAD it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty good with CAD and if I had the right engine dimensions I think I could design a really good boat. The only dimensions I have to go by now are the ones I have taken off of one of my motors, but it is very hard to get any decent tolerances with a tape measure.
