It's done all the time. A 14 foot aluminum with 10 or 15 HP motor is an island standard. A 20 MPH wind would keep me from crossing the broads, but I will take mine anywhere else.
The key issue is water quality. In the open areas the quality has remained high. Quality in the bays has been dropping.
If or when the quality drops enough to alarm the public, limits of some kind will be imposed.
