I can think of a compromise that will work for all. Dump the speed limit bill, subsitute it with enforcable 150' headway speed bill with the MP to do the job. Boat registrations increase by okay I don't know what amount but say $2.00 and all boats need to be registered for a minimum of $2.00 and that money stays on the lake the boats are registered on. for the cost of MP.
When a person is stopped for failure to observe the 150' rule first offense is 100.00 fine second and each subsequent is increased by 100. three tickets and he/she no longer operates a boat on the lake until they retake the boaters certificate coarse given in Concord the second week in January each year.
