It sounds like you got very lucky. You should post some pictures of your boat, along with some of your repair work for our view pleasure.

It turned out looking great John.

It's been a while since I've updated so here goes... I've been sanding on the top of the deck and filling in holes. I've been wetting out a piece of CSM and place it on the backside of the hole and let it cure. I mixed up some epoxy with cabosil and milled fibers and then filled the hole. I did...
