Been there done that! I learned with about 4 or 5 fiberglass over wood boats that if the decking is rotted out then the stringers and part of the transom is too. Usually it's caused by not keeping the boat covered when stored outside and failure to keep the bow elevated high enough. Drain plug out of coarse. I will only take on aluminum bass boats to restore for that reason. Even then the transom will have to be replaced if the boat becomes a bath tub.
Good job for seeing it through.sometimes stuff doesn’t go as planned.you gotta improvise and roll with it.worst comes to worst you can always turf it or carpet.
Honestly, taking your time will always result in a better product and a deeper appreciation of it too later on. I learned a lot from my successes and failures alike, seems like you’re learning a lot too. 🫡
I would never have done that with this noce of a boat! Please put new carpet down. It just looks better. Remember, this is still a nice bass boat, most people would have restored and put 3-5k into it as long as the motor was good! Would be new trolling motor, rewire it, new pumps, and electronics. I would love to have it..

Bro this is such a bad ass boat.
How many gallons or resin did you use
Nice job man! Maybe lay down some sea deck foam if you get tired of looking at the imperfections. Fish On Bro!!
