The punishment from lightning hitting a boat with chest is big! All the content is gone!! Lightning can end your exploration and fun short. With the leash-able boats lightning is ever more likely to destroy multiple boats.
Even the lava is less destructive. And lightning can be much about luck and have little to nothing of a warning element to it. Little overcast is barely noticeable at dusk. And the accompanying rain can start at the same time as lightning already destroys the boats.
I suggest the items inside chest boat just pop out when lightning hits. It will be frantic dash to save everything, and I suffice it'll be punishing enough to try to avoid boating during thunderstorm.
The countermeasure what lightning rods provide isn't really great regarding the boats movement and exploration element and difficulty of placing the rods in the middle of the ocean.
And yes this suggestion is based in experience. First there was just confused search of items and then I had to check wiki if this mechanic is real. Yes maybe I could have considered this game mechanic and protected the boats or even kept them some distance apart. Also nothing very precious was lost. And I did find it funny in the end. But considering considering other game mechanics, this experience doesn't make much sense intuitively to me.
