Location: Green Bay, WI | I would think you could just re-deck the thing with marine plywood. Although I've never done it myself, I've seen a bunch of pictures of guys doing this. In fact, someone on this site just did a GREAT restoration of an older Lund (as I recall). He had the floor off, so he would be a great resource for you. It was only a week ago at most, so you should find the thread here easily enough.
As to re-riveting anything, you should not have to. The deck is wood and the hull is aluminum--so that's where the rivets are. Of course there are stringers and bulkheads that join together, but that should not effect you. But if you *did* need to do some rivet work, just find a local aircraft mechanic. They'll have all the tools you need and the knowledge required, if you are unsure of anything. Of course a great resource would be a local dealer, or even Alumacraft.
I'll see if I can find that thread and link it here. If you are anywhere close to Green Bay, give me an email (in my signature) or a PM.

EDIT: Here you go--this fellow did an incredible job at restoring that Lund.
