Just cut the darn boat in half there.
2. Cut 5' sections for the floor, and two sides.
A. Slather on a complete coating of 5200.
B. Fit these sections into place, with 1' overlap on each side.
C. Then drill holes every 6" and run stainless bolts with washers, and more 5200.
Run em' right through the hull, don't be bashful about it.
3. Tighten it all up, then coat the outer and inner hull with epoxy and gel coat.
4. Let dry, then wet sand and polish if that's important to you.
Then take your new V24 out on the ocean and have fun.
Total time for the job - figure 4 hours.

You didn't mention any duct tape? Or a piece of foil off a chewing gum wrapper. Both mentioned must must have some structual integrity to build.
