Where is your boat? Do you haul for the winter? If so, you can open the deck fittings and dry in heated storage.
Who said "not bad", a professional surveyor or the seller? Any sign of delamination?
I suggest you get familiar with Mainesail's excellent site: http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/boat_projects , or seek a trusted local yard. Delamination can destroy the deck.
