Just going to ruminate on it a bit before committing dollars.
Before I tackled all you are noting here, I would re-bed ALL your deck fittings. The bedding will fail over time and it is when you get a leak like you are noting that one of the buggers is leaking. It isn't as hard to do this as you might think and will give you years of a dry boat interior. If one is leaking, others will be soon behind that one.

Hairline cracks can be made waterproof with just a good wax if they are really just a hairline crack in the gelcoat.

Good luck!
