Do I need to begin again ??

HI Guys
I have replaced my transom and my stringers and I started the glassing in stage. I have one layer of mat on the transom and stringers and then IT RAINED..... Water crept into the vents and down into the bilge and I had not drilled my holes through the stringers yet. Water made its way in between the curred mat and now I have a milkey look. So am I worring for nothing or do I need to begin again.

Here is my progress so far, there is lots of photos on the thread

Cheers
Michael

Yes and no! I just sold my property and am in the middle of building a house and shop in north Pickering. I'm still finishing of jobs at my shop. The price's went to high for me not to sell. I have 5 acres and am moving to 12. Hoping for a Big shop, up from 3000 sq. ft. I also want to get into boat storage.
