Captain Crustacean,
Study your boat and figure out every tool, including the specialty one you need to do the basic maintenance.... filters, hoses, batteries, wiring, cleaning, replacing, etc.

And, there's an argument to go thru all the basic maintenance before venturing out a long distance, so you can discover tools you may need, or may have to modify.

I've found a few things that I didn't think I'd need:
A special filter wrench
A cut down socket to fit in tight places
Etc.
And, I'd argue that the following could be useful: (in addition to common tools)
grinder
bench vice
torch and heat guns
prop puller
spanner wrenches
solder tools
compressor
rivit tool
rivnut tool

And some common tool additions:
Swivel socket and deep sockets

Then there's the adhesives, lubricants, clamps, hardware, hoses, etc....
And the supplies: filters, belts, hoses, electrical connectors, etc.

and the stuff I forgot...
