Here is an example of what I believe is Renaissance Prowler's development of that space in-between.

Nothing:

A Something Bump

Strake/Fence/Chime Madness
https://www.renaissanceprowler.com/why

I'm guessing the thin fences on the more aircraft-like (Advanced Aerodynamic Vessels, SAS) would be frowned upon by boaters that might be looking at the Renaissance Prowler.

Factors such as durability of taking waves and acting as a hazard to swimmers/divers plus that fences just might not look "boat-like" enough could be factors.

And finally, fabrication of a boat hull is different than an aircraft like skin.
