Thanks for all of the new ideas, I will try and review both options to see which is a better fit during this summer. The idea of a trash impeller sounds great, but won't the stringy weeds get caught up inside the unit? I asked a Honda pump dealer about using a regular trash pump and a diaphram...

Hi, Thanks for the initial sketch, I will show to the father in law and see what he thinks. I did find a couple of other websites that have the larger conveyor system but nothing that is for the smaller size like the pontoon that I can afford to start with. Here are a few other links for...

Hi. Thanks again for all your time and effort on creating sketches...

Hi, This is closer to what I'm looking for in a used Pontoon. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Pontoon_boat.jpg But without the seats a very stripped down used pontoon boat (The two floats, deck which would be replaced with some type of mesh floor to drain the water from...

I don't have the used pontoon yet, but they will run about 16 - 20 feet long and I'm not sure of the width of an average pontoon. 1) Not exactly sure how big? I would like it to swing/move out of the way when we are trying to transport the pontoon by trailer so the conveyor doesn't get in...

Not sure what the best method will be, I think it will need to be the easy as some times there will only be one person running the harvesting operation. Maybe he can sketch using a motor and some type of hand lever to use the conveyor. Thanks - laketetonka

Sounds great we will start baking the chocolate-chips cookies... Thanks - laketetonka

What ever you could do would be awsome as my son and I are total clueless to the design aspect of things and would love any sketches that you could send our way to help out the process. Thanks - laketetonka

End use for the weeds would be to make some type of compost. I like the idea of an aquatic baler as this could make the unloading part go much faster. But I think that I have my hands full with trying to design/build a conveyor belt system and I'm not even sure were to start the process at...

Thanks for everyones ideas, I will have to research how to build a conveyor belt system? Thanks again - laketetonka

Hello, I harvest lake weeds and I'm looking for an easier way to remove the aquatic weeds from the water after they are cut. A couple of quick ideas were to use an older pontoon as a way to transport the weeds out of the lake. 1) Thought about some type of hydrolic lift table that could...
