Marin has a good list I have a large conventional tool set, a few extras would be a strap wrench, Ridgid makes a good one, some medical friends got me long forecepts in various styles for picking up small parts in hard to get spots, 90*bent large needlenose pliers, asst.vicegrip pliers. Snubby screwdrivers. I keep a short sharp tooth "shark" woodsaw on board, 16 inch crescent wrenches. I also have several cheapo socket/screwdriver bit sets on the flybridge, engine room, & saloon, they get lots of the work done without needing to drag out the larger toolboxes. Mini butane torch for rope ends, heat shrink etc.
Good luck
PS lots of tape measures, and a set of calipers
