I know some have a pretty comprehensive list, wondering what you check before going out, or whenever.
I know a few but will only mention checking for gelcoat cracks or other obvious stuff on the hull.

1: check powerhead bolts
2: check lower unit bolts
3) make sure nothing is messed up on the power head
4) make sure engine runs
5) make sure trailer is hooked on truck GOOD
6) make sure drain plug is in
7) check to see if lifejackets, sunglasses etc are all in the boat.
8) check to see how much gas
