Need some opinion on this.   Im considering a 2012 Tracker Targa 18ft with a 150 Merc.  


Boat looks great except it was disclosed there was a hull leak last year after hitting something and the hull was welded with a 3x3" patch.   Boat was only water tested from the inside as the repair happened in the fall.  Boat has not been on the water since the repair. 


Looking for opinions on this - should I stay away or is this a fairly common thing with an Aluminum boat and will not be an issue.


I want to run this boat on bigger water like Winnebago and Green Bay and obviously don't want a sinking vessel.


Thanks
