Oil change in Spring

I bought my first boat (1974 Catalina 27) last fall and it quickly went into winter storage for the winter. The problem is that I did not change the oil before leaving her for 6 months. I read that this was a big mistake as the acids build up and break down the internal parts. Now that I prepare for the summer is there any suggestions as to how to best service the engine to minimize the neglect ?
