3M has some epoxies that are bullet proof! (too many to list)
There is also a material called Devcon. You mix it up on a small pallet and squeeze it into the hole. Then re-drill to your specs.
We used to use devcon at the race track to fix cracked blocks and heads. the stuff dries in ten minutes and holds water!!! At least the car finished the race!

Call a local building supply and buy a tube of AC-100 by Powers Fasteners. It's a 2-part filled polyester that self-mixes. You can get it in a 5 oz. tube that will work in a caulking gun. Squirt the first couple inches of stream out so you're assured of injecting a properly mixed batch. It's pretty thick- works well in horizontal holes. I'll guarantee it will be the toughest thing on your boat. We use it to fasten machine mount anchors into concrete- on a 3/4" hardened rod the yield strength is 17,000 lbs. You can drill & tap it or screw a lag bolt into it- make sure to get the root diameter right- this stuff doesn't compress. Lube the bolt before installing.

Cigarette lags those, the one that is in the stringer. They use to anyway.
