So how are those big yachts built with steel hulls and aluminum superstructures?

1) The joint between materials is not submerged.
2) They put an isolating material between (on an aluminum mast, something as simple as a layer of plastic from a milk jug between the mast and the stainless steel winch base does the trick.)

This isn't a new or unknown issue. I'm sure the truck makers have this figured out. Only thing you might worry about is a DIY guy who pulls the bed and when he puts it back, he doesn't do it right...of course, the vast majority of trucks never have the bed pulled.

i knew that they had if figured out 50 years ago I just didn't know the details,I was never worried about all or partial aluminum trucks .
what I did run across was the problem metal boat have in some marinas, the boat next to you not bonded and the marina itself with DC or AC voltage leaks
