Strip: Joining on the Sheer

Is there any particular reason that the two halves of strip boats are joined on the sheer? Rather than separating the boat into a deck and hull, why not a left and right half?? (or to be proper: Port and Starboard)

Just occurred to me, and I couldn't see any immediately obvious reason is all...
