OK so question is my 16 foot 1999 pontoon is rated for 50 hp motor. I see the 2 strokes weigh much less then the four stroke So if I put a 50 hp 4 stroke on it will it be to heavy for the boat?

No it won't be too heavy. It will be heavier I think a 99 50 is probably about 200
A Yamaha is about 262,a Merc about 247.The Evinrude Etec is a direct injected 2 stroke
exceeds all emission requirements and is the motor of choice for lake Tahoe official boats.
It weighs about 240.If your buying new the Etec has no break in period and no service requirement for 3 years or 300 hours.
Also fewer and less complicated service intervals than a 4 stroke.
