OK so a person in a certain style boat "could" go fast, and "could" crash the boat into a cottage. So that is the rationale (at least part of it) for a speed limit.
OK so in my car, I "could" go fast, and "could" crash my car into a house. But since there is a speed limit, there is no chance of that?
My point is this: Lots of things "could" happen, with or without a speed limit. Accidents happen at ALL speeds, and they involve ALL types of boats. You simply cannot prevent them all. Since there have been zero reported accidents in the last few years where speed over 45/25 have been cited as the MAIN cause of the accident, then the speed limit law will not make the lake safer.
