If winterized correctly: Hook up trailer, drive to boat ramp, install plug, back boat into water, fire up and let idle till warm, unhook bow strap, back off trailer and go play.
I also always replace the oil/oil filter as it has sat in the engine for 6 months. Change the tranny fluid if it hasn't been done in a couple years. Replace impeller as stated above and reinstall any required plugs. Check your belts and maybe change spark plugs if it hasn't been done in a few years either. Just give it a once over to make sure all your Navi lights work, you got all the life jackets back in....whatever else you may have taken out. Connect the trailer and make sure all lights work. Air in the tires if needed. I usually clean the boat again even though I did it before I put it away.
Give it a big hug and a kiss if you haven't seen it in a few months!

Go shred the liquid gnar!
Just and FYI, its never a good idea to leave the used oil in the crankcase during storage. Used oil is acidic and corrosive and will etch the soft metals such as bearing and pistons. It also contains moisture, which is a normal byproduct of combustion as well as the environment the boat is used in. The oil and filter should always be changed in Fall and the engine run afterwards to circulate the fresh clean oil.
