Probably a lot that can be added to the list but here are a few of varying importance:

1 replace fuel filter/water seps
2 Cycle the ball valves on all of your intakes to make sure they operate freely
3 check/clean battery connections
4 check for play in your strut bearings
5 check for play in your steering tie bar (just checked mine and found one destroyed rod end)
6 clean out sea strainers
7 manually trip each bilge pump float switch
8 visually inspect hose clamps and belts

If you have ever gotten a uscg safety inspection they left behind a checklist. I like to run through the list before launching (nav lights, fire extinguishers, etc)

Congratulations on the boat.

The 6.0 is a great engine that doesn't require a lot of annual maintenance. if you don't know the engine history and want piece of mind swapping coolant is always a good idea. otherwise follow crusaders Maintenance intervals and you should experience good reliability.
