Replace the alternator. That may solve several of the problems. The fusible link is there to protect your car's electrical systems, so when it starts burning up you should address the source of the problem, not patch it repeatedly. The boiling coolant may have been caused by the fans not coming on, so you may be able to kill all the problems with one part.

Remanufactured alternators are available. I have an ACDelco Reman unit, it carries a lifetime warranty and teamed with an Optima Red-Top battery my electrical system is pretty solid.
