Check the battery water level. • Check fuel tanks, fuel pumps, filters and cooling hoses for any leaks.

Replace batteries in flashlights, smoke detector etc. Finally, given it was winterized properly by a certified dealer that you trust, I see no reason that they wouldn't have a through list of (to do's) in bringing the boat out of hibernation.
