I never did a complete fix to it. I ended up covering the entire crack with 5200 this winter. I had the boat out of the water and covered for about a month and a half to make sure it was as dry as I could get it and then coated the entire area with 5200. When I did it the temp was around 35 degrees so the 5200 stayed put pretty well and didn't drip that much. I know it isn't the prettiest fix but I know it is sealed up good and will keep water from getting into the fiberglass.
That area is a pain in the *** as you can't really get to the back side of it easily and you may have to pull the rub rail to get to the top edge. I know my fix isn't perfect but I figure the boat has 25 years on her and she's not going to be perfect.
