just skinning the hull would be sufficient? skinning the deck around all the contours and recessed deck line fittings would be a painful experience?

Just skinning would fix leaks, but the structure of the kayak would still be significantly compromised. I would not take the kayak out in rough water or surfing. A quick bandaid repair will not make a solid kayak.

If all you are looking for is cheap boat to go fishing in calm water, a quick sanding, some bondo and a coat of house paint may suffice.

If you desire a kayak you can depend on, it will take a lot of work. If you would like the kayak to look nice, it will take at least twice as long as just making it structurally sound.

The amount of work to get the boat to like-new condition is greater than the work required to make a new boat.
