What do you think?
Should we use the Mercury or Johnson on the pontoon boat?

Sorry to say you will not be happy with either engine. I put a new 50 HP Yamaha 4 stroke on a 20 foot pontoon work boat and got it up to 16 MPH WOT. It would not be a good boat to have on Winni. Your sailboat may perform better.
