anyone installed a windlass on one of these? i'm thinking about it but only if i can get a good price on used parts and it isn't too difficult. i was looking yesterday and i don't think it will be too difficult? i'm sure the bigger boats are similar. running wires along starboard side to helm, through switches, and through head and v-berth cabinet. the only place that looks like an issue is the trim strip towards the front of the v-berth between the cabinets and the anchor locker (maybe 3-4 ft strip). if that strip comes off easily enough then i would think the rest would be pretty easy?
i would plan to install a large backer board under the deck where the windlass would sit.
