Default Emergency Oil Pan Repair Needed

I have an '88 Grady White with a 4.3L OMC Cobra (I believe
this is a Chevy Engine- 6 cyl.) The pan has developed a leak
right on time for the holidays and I have no chance of getting
it replaced now.
The hole area appears to be at the end of the engine facing
aft and is accessable. I am tempted to drain all the oil out, sand
the area well and try a fiberglass patch. Any chance this will
work?
Or how about JB weld?
Thanks. Frank.
