I don't support the speed limit but can assure you it'll be easy to issue tickets and get convictions. Radar works just fine on water and while the speed reading is a function of the angle of incidence, it will never read too high when it's in error, only too low. For instance, if the boat is passing the radar at 30 degrees, the speed reading will be 86.6 percent of actual speed.
