Quite agreed... typically the school of thought is having ground points at the ends of the boat ....or having that ferro effect interior... I think one of the main issues here is that you are not talking a spark form a shore power box... thousands if not millions of volts - and dare we remind people lightening is STATIC - it has no direction and has at whim a desire to go anywhere it wants to...usually many places at the same time...
Having been struck twice by lightening on the ground myself... there is no rhyme or reason unless it actually has a mind of its own - and there again - there is no winner...
