I was going to give this one a pass, and then I remembered...


You've got an aluminum boat. The chain made a great conductor to ground.
Your boat had an electricity leak of some sort which was unnoticeable
before, as you were in the faraday cage of its hull, but you were barefoot
or otherwise adequately conductive when you were hauling up barehanded and
the chain completed the circuit.

Howzat?

Methinks you dissemble. You're selling a custom aluminum boat, you had an
electricity leak due to a faulty wind generator which caused your shock.

Turns out the incident wasn't on the boat for sale. I don't actually get
how you managed to conduct electricity through fiberglass to get your shock,
but the rest of the theory was correct :{))
