If the incident is as described and a conviction is obtained I would expect the violator to receive a hefty monetary fine and a loss of boat operating privileges.

I would think failing to stop for the MP would be a night or two in jail, plus a huge fine. Loss of boating privileges is a good penalty as well. The Reckless Operation is a serious offense in a car, and if he was sober, I'd really be worried about having him back on the lake.
