Ayuh,..... I guess I do things differently than most here,.....
I built a semi-rigid bimini top,....
Bolted to my tinbarge, I've never feared lightnin',.... placed my faith in the Faraday Cage Effect,.....
Been out in some really crazy weather, 'n so far, haven't been struck by lightnin', ...
On the glass barge I'm throwin' together now, there'll be another semi-rigid bimini, 'n it'll be bonded to a big ole zinc bondin' plate on the transom, that'll hopefully withstand a strike, if that day should ever occur,....
