But those E-tecs have that neck-snapping acceleration which is so
important on a pontoon boat.

I can see use for a 2 stroke... such as a smaller engine on a sailboat or
dinghy. I understand you can just lay the motor down in the bed of your
pickup.... or if you like to waterski of tube. They may be more powerful
for a given weight.
On a pontoon boat I'd want the smell of fresh air and as much quiet as
possible. If it was practical, an electric engine would be even better.
