Creating a 'ski-specific tool box. What is the maximum fastener size one is likely to encounter?

I've been gathering up tools from flea markets/yard sales for several years and want to make a specific tool kit I can use in the field. My aim is to have it as light as possible, but with sufficient variety that I don't get caught 'a tool short' whilst working on a 'ski. I work mostly on Yamaha and Kawasaki pole 'ski's.

To this end I would like to know the range of fasteners used on these 'ski's so that I can set an upper and lower limit on my spanners(wrenches)/sockets. I'm hoping that by keeping a cap on that side of things I can fill out my tool kit with other items that I can ACTUALLY use.

The largest fastener that comes to mind is the 27mm plastic nut on the Yamaha steering cable. There's also the nut that secures the (aftermarket) primer body to the hull, bow fitting nuts and pivot bolt/nut assembly for the handlepole. Beyond these specific items what's the LARGEST and SMALLEST bolts I'm likely to encounter?

Feedback from serial 'ski strippers appreciated!

Some clamps I’ve seen 1/4”,
7,8,10,12,13,14,17,22,27 mm sockets
Allen wrenches/sockets moth metric and standard for when people cram a random standard in.
7,8,10,12,13,14,17,22,27 mm wrenches
Don’t forget those custom cut bpipe wrenches
Screw drivers, and extensions
Various carb, exhaust, and pump tuning tools

I think it depends how deep you want to go. And how big of a box you want to have. I could easily find a reason to fill a standing 30” crapsman box with tools stacked.
