Congratulations on your purchase. Check and replace all hoses that look old, especially fuel fill hose and cockpit drain hoses. You can get a service kit for your bilge pump. it's an easy fix. In fact all of the things you mentioned are things you can do yourself, if you're handy. That being said, I wouldn't use Gallery Marine for anything (based on my experience with them).
