What I have also done to a small area (Maybe 20' W x 50'L) to get a fast result was take the Mastercraft, tie the boat to a tree on shore, put it in gear and at a little bit above an idle let the prop wash the loose muck away from an area. Yes, the prop wash was directed at the shore, but the lighter organics hit the shore and bounced back into the deeper water on either side of the boat. It didn't take long to work an area down to clean sand.

I'm not saying NOT to use the aeration and pellets, I think that's a good idea but for an almost immediate result in a small area the boat worked pretty quickly.
