:Smiley,

About 18 or so years ago, I restored the hull of a Luders 16 (25ft sail boat) with epoxy. The boat was hot molded mahogany, and I believe it was constructed before the Second World War. I too was amazed at the excellent condition of the laminate even though the outer veneers and the keelson were in terrible shape.
