Welcome to the list Juliano I have used both G-Flex and layers of cloth with epoxy for this repair. When I used G-Flex and then sanded and faired the crack came back in less than two years. When I ground out and used three layers of 6 oz cloth the problem went away for good.
This is a relatively simple and quick repair so don’t fret much about it. That was my experience. Make sure the keel bolts are torqued properly prior to the repair as well.

Matches Chuck's suggestions for the most part. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8pEh5lnvP1yV1JEN3YxQk1RbHc/view?usp=drivesdk A lot of people have reported adding various combinations of layers of fiberglass.

A couple of months ago I came by a C&C 25 that was neglected (aka abandoned) for a couple of years on the hard. I am new to boat onwing and have been learning a lot on how to get her ready following Casey's "This old boat" and some youtube channels. There is a crack (?) on the keel hull joint that I am not sure how to tackle. It is not really a smile, maybe some broken teeth? =] Here is a photo of it (damage is the same on both sides) https://bit.ly/3p9EsRT Going over the variety of "smile repairs" there is one that seems like a good option for me: G/Flex, sand, bottom paint. Can anyone share their wisdom with me on this idea? Thanks all! Thanks to all of the subscribers that contributed to the list to help with the costs involved.
