The advantage I see with the Porta-Boat and a GAS motor is the ability to cover more water or point A to point B.
Pontoons are great, but on Large bodies of water you can spend all day rowing or motoring as far as the battery can take you, or you can pull the boat out and transport it by car to another area. Of course a gas motor on a pontoon would work also in that you can go farther.
But it is nice also to get you whole body out of icy water. On several lakes, I see a bunch of empty motor boats surrounded by a bunch of tubers, so that is also an option.
The packability of the Porta is awesome.
