Does not sound like a fun relaxing project.

Fiberglass covering an aluminum hull sounds like a dissaster looking to happen !! If you really want it to float just scrape off all the loose stuff then brush on a couple coats of " leak stopper" roofing sealant. Dries clear, fairly cheap, thicker than most sealants, will leave a tough flexible covering that will stop all leaks and it lasts a long time. Availiable thru home depot and tractor supply. Best and cheapest thing I know of !!

I've seen guys fiberglass rotted pontoon boats. It's ugly, but it works. Not sure how cost-effective it would be. I would probably search for a cheap hull on FB or Craigslist. The time you lose is probably worth more than the hull.

I would replace the rivets and definitely try the leak stopper that Airshot recommends first.
