I agree. $8K sounds quite high to install a windlass. Regarding delamination I would get that surveyor back to the boat to sound the deck. If the deck is wet he should have easily caught it during the inspection. With a little luck you don't have wide spread intrusion and the soft spots can be cut out from inside the locker and re-glasssed. Not a terrible job at all since there is no real cosmetic work needed. I would assume that work needs to be completed prior to the windlass install. Maybe that's where the $8K came from?
