Why not build a wooden boat, instead?
My point being that you built a SOF for a reason - they are light, responsive and easy and cheap to build. Adding fiberglass, etc, makes all that for naught. But, more importantly, you don't need to add any puncture resistance. I've never had one, and don't know anyone who has. You'd have to try really hard, or drag it across something really sharp, to do any damage.
