Something nobody has mentioned is the size of the boat, and how much room you actually have available for tools. If you have tons of room, like a workshop/engine room, you can have a bench and vise, and buy the whole Sears tool shop if you like. But there is still little point carrying tools you don’t know how to use. Even a simple multimeter is not much use if you can’t read it or follow instructions. Multi-purpose tools, like vice-grips, are a necessity and get used for all sorts of odd jobs. Whatever you have, there will be times when you need to improvise or borrow something, or hire a specialist, so don’t weigh the boat down, (you will be surprised at the total weight of all your “tools.”). There are some superb plastic tool holders/boxes and folding benches which don’t weight half as much as their steel counterpart and won’t rust.
