You might want to look into a Jenson Lake mower. Then you can cut what you want , no chems and you make up the cost quickly on a lake your size. That is what I would do if our lakes were that big/much weeds. 100 acres is a lot to treat. Plus if you remove the weeds when cut you don't have the DO (O2 depletion) problem.

Jenson Technologies (info@lakemower.com) ask for Annamarie Gervais -- these are great people. Tell them PB sent you.
