buy this http://www.worldtrackingsolutions.com/st_guardian.htm no monthly fee. Easy to use website, back up battery,,,,and you can set up a geo fence that will text and or email you if the boat is moved outside the specific area. Very low drain on batteries. Also cool if you every leave your boat in the lake for the weekend as well.

Tires off is not as big a deterrent as you'd think. My grandfather had removed all 4 tires from his trailer. Thieves pulled right in to his back yard, slapped 4 wheels on the trailer and off they went with his Mako center console. I like the idea of the power cable to the house that trips a loud horn alarm when interrupted. You wouldn't even have to actually plug it in. Just connect the two ends in the house together, set the end in the boat on a relay to trigger when the current is interrupted. Wire the other end to a 12v horn and you're good to go. And DEFINITELY park in front of it at night. That's probably the best theft deterrent you can have.

Wireless outdoor motion sensor for the house set inside the cockpit. Connected via wireless to the house alarm.
If someone jumps in the boat it sets the house alarm off. If someone steals the boat as soon as the sensor is out of range (50 ft) it sets the house alarm off. I also put a loud siren outside the house.... It will wake up 5 or 6 neighbors! lol
I have all the other stuff people mentioned too (Everything lol) as well as leaving the huge tow rig camped out in front of it 24-7!!

A really cheap and low-tech easy alarm project: go get a tilt switch for a car alarm/rem start: $11.99 at Best Buy, also purchase a single bosche style SPDT realy $9.99@BBY. then buy a cheap 12v alarm Siren or five. Real easy to wire up, put some clips on the main power wires, and set the tilt switch so that if the boat angle changes, it will make contact, triggering the relay and thus as many SIRENS as you like. You can make it portable if you want, or install it on the boat with a simple toggle switch. Wire the relay like this terminals 87 and 86 12v+, terminal 85 is connected to one side of the tilt switch, the other side of the tilt switch is connected to battery 12v- along with the neg. side of the siren(s), terminal 30 of the relay connects to the positive side of the siren(s) the beauty of a circuit like this is it draws absolutely no current when at rest, so if you have a battery on your trailer for any reason, you could also install it onto the trailer.
