If you can afford a boat with twin 200HP motors you can afford to retrofit it with electric.
Common misconception. I purchased my boat for $3000, and have spent around $12000 on it in four years making it safe and cleaning it up. I don't have the money to pay for a $20,000 retrofit to electric power. I can't afford a Tesla, either.

This is not 2-stroke. This is 4-stroke engines. There are no catalytic converters on marine outboard motors, so the 4-strokes are allowed to be > 100X as polluting as cars.
Out in open water it doesn’t matter as much as in front of your kids school.

Thanks. I think you missed some rather critical bits in your comment: that such an already extreme cyclist might produce more gases than the most efficient gasoline powered vehicles. It's quite misleading when you don't mention that, since then people think of the average car to compare against.
tl;dr: diet is also very important, and human labor is not necessarily a good substitute for machine labor.
