Police would not comment on the graffiti "this is for f---ing my wife" believed to be spray painted on the outside of the home.
Police say a person got into the Ashmore homeowner's ute and reversed it into the side of the building.
The back of the car then burst into flames and quickly spread into the home, causing significant damage.
Police were called to the home on Belah Street about 8am.
The 46-year-old man who lived alone, was not home at the time.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen a vehicle driving in the area between 7am and 8am towing a tinnie on a boat trailer with Queensland registration BV4 987.
The boat went missing from the home about the time of the fire.
Police are also urging anyone who may have been driving in Ashmore between those hours with dashcam vision showing the boat to come forward.
Investigations are continuing.
