It's not the cheapest stuff, but it's tried & true.

One way to fix this type of joint is to grind the gelcoat
off the outside and wrap fiberglass tape around it. Fill
gaps with silica filler (WS 406) and then slurry over that
with microfibers (WS 403), then fiberglass tape. When
sanding it smooth, don't cut thru the cloth any more than
you can help it.

If you want it really strong, use a light biaxial tape such
used for airplane kits. I used some of this stuff for the
first time

and found it to be outstanding to work with... wraps easily,
wets out very evenly, strong enough for a battleship. The
Cadillace way to do it would be a strip of 1" then a strip
of 2" over it.

It still won't be as strong as cutting the hull free from
the deck and rebonding them, but it should be a lot quicker.
