Ok, tell me why they should.
There are some large boat builders like Bayliner, Searay, Hatteras, that believe in bonding through hulls. These are big builders that have been building boats for long time. I don't think they would be bonding through hulls without reason. Bayliner for one isn't known for wasting money on unnessary stuff.
My neighbor's boat got hit by lightning when we were in Portage Bay. Blew a hole right though the hull at water line on the Valiant and nailed the Advanti between us. Didn't blow out through hulls, did take out all of the electrical systems on both boats. Insurance repaired both boats. But again this is punny Pacific Northwest lightning. Not that southern US lightning you guy's get. How do you live with that stuff.So if you get hit by lightning it will blow them out?
