The ones on the corner especially because that is an area that is key to the structural integrity of the hull. If your just going to paddle the boat or use a trolling motor I think a patch would be OK but if your even going to put a small outboard on it I would get it welded for peace of mind. Just remember an aluminum hull flexes which might cause a patch to reopen when in use with an outboard. I think a local fab shop could probably weld it for around the same cost as a patch kit.</p></blockquote><p></p>
