IIRC power boats are not allowed on any of the lakes in the National Park (excluding the tourist and cruise vessels) except Windermere - and as Andy pointed out, there are fairly strict and low speed limits there. I do remember many years ago there was a boat rental in Coniston at which one could rent dinghy-sized boats with small outboard motors but I am not sure if that's still allowed (possibly they would have a grandfathered exemption?) Hopefully someone local to the area can clarify.
