Last year was the first year with my 2002 3100 Open (8.1 Crusaders). Most of the work that I've done so far has been fixing the previous owner's poorly sealed rod holders and rod holder tracks on the gunnels as well as other moisture problems. Check the seals on your transom door, swim platform connections and scuppers - I just re-sealed mine this past off season and the boat clearly needed it, especially on the transom door seal. Also check the seal for your windlass and make sure that your anchor locker drain is draining properly. When looking for new-to-me Tiara's before last year, most I looked at had (slight) moisture problems at the windlass (one that I looked at was severe) and/or anchor locker drain. The previous owner of my boat also had the wrong style anchor, so I replaced that as well.

I'd also check out your house and engine batteries to make sure they're in good shape and properly hold a charge. Good luck and enjoy your Tiara!
