I agree that collection is the biggest problem for my pond. Manually cutting the weeds with a weed razor is not nearly as difficult as getting in a boat and collecting all of the heavy weeds and bringing them to the shore.
One way we do this without a boat is by attaching a lightweight plastic garden rake to a rope and dragging the weeds in by casting out the rake and pulling it back with the rope. This is done after the weeds are cut and are floating. I think this might be a consideration for your project. A small boat that can drag the weeds instead of loading them might work. This does require the weeds to float and not break up too much though, which is why we use the technique with curly leaf pondweed.
