I totally agree; a Boat US or SeaTow membership is the best tool to keep on the boat.
I have had mechanical issues on several of my older boats, and getting a free tow back to port is priceless. Literally :)
I do keep a few basic tools on board and a Leatherman. The only major boat repair tool I have is a prop wrench. Beyond changing a damaged prop, I would rather deal with any needed repairs on land.
