One method that comes to mind (particularly for strip or S&G boats, but could be done for any glass boat I suppose) would be to use the building method of printing names and so forth on material such as rice paper, and applying it under the glass. True - that can be sanded out and reglassed. But, if you did it to the underside of the deck, inside a hatch, where it isn't visible, a thief probably would never know it was there. If you needed to prove that it was your boat, simply place a mirror into the hatch opening in such a way that the name and ownership info is visible for all to see. I've never done the above, but it sounds like a viable option to me.
