No, give up on that excuse mister.
Absolutely would bring it up to a judge. It is a lot easier to gauge ones speed in a vehicle on a road than in a boat. For one, in a car you can compare your speed to other vehicles. You can judge your speed based on time/distance to fixed objects. In a boat, there are way to many variables to even think about guessing speed.

Are speedometers required equipment in cars?
