I doubt it will have much effect. There are examples of reckless boating all over the lake, the vast majority of which is never policed by the MP. If enforcement had the effect that you expect we would see a reduction in the amount of reckless behavior instead of the perceived increase, by all types of boats, that everyone seems to be reporting. The reckless boaters should be "getting the message" that their type of boater isn't welcome on Winni.
Further, I would expect the MP to focus their enforcement on the worst problems. If I was an officer and saw one boat crusing the broads faster than a speed limit and at the same time saw a boat cut within 25 ft of another boat at 20 MPH I would go after the slower boat causing the more urgent danger. Yes, some speeding tickets would be written, fines would be paid, and people would generally continue to boat as they choose.
