Fishing tournaments out of town I’m always worried about my gear. I usually just take it all in the room or camper, which is a beating with the amount of gear we all have. What’s the best way to feel comfortable leaving it in the boat. An alarm system or the lock bar? Or neither , or something o?

I've used a baby monitor several times and felt good about it. It picks up the slightest noise and will also start beeping if the power is cut from the outside.

Loc-R-Bar and a driveway alarm from Harbor Freight. That combination is not foolproof but pretty good. Using 2 of HF sensors, one in the boat and one under the boat (against a tire hides it) is a good way to do it. Those HF systems are <$20.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

Had this on my Skeeter for 2 years and works great. Doesn't draw a lot of power, perfect vibration sensitivity, and the remotes work well

I have had a 2 way paging alarm that I have been putting in boats for years.
You can arm all boxes or all boxes with shock sensor. It has 2 way paging remote that vibrates, makes noise and lights up. Perfect for being on the road staying at hotels etc.
I also have a mobile installer in the DFW.

TTS: Your website says you are out of stock. Any idea when you will get some in? Also, what is your price on a boat alarm without LED lights?

Like everything else the alarm has gone up in price. They run $299.99 It takes me about 7 to 10 days to get them and prep them.
