The problem is you are using performance and pontoon in the same sentence. Only until recently like in the past 5 years have they started to make pontoons that can really get up and go especially with the tri toons, but the original pontoons are motorized swim rafts and simply are not a great platform for playing around with pulling anything. You can but...
That said the pitch of a prop can indeed make a difference. Like anything there is a give and take with the pitch, although there may be a prop that is best optimized for the motor, that may not take into account what the motor is attached to. Take your 70 HP outboard, there is a big difference with that being on a toon versus say a 17' aluminum dual console fishing boat (for example). Usually if you are interested in another pitch some marinas will let you try them out of course if you smash it you own it. I wouldn't waste any money on a stainless prop those are primarily for high performance applications. I put one on my 4.3L stern drive and it made 0 difference other than it looks cool!
