Yeah not alot of guys will do mobile repairs on aluminium. Too many problems , wind, contamination, etc. Plus as till said tank might have to be removed.
Also the crack might be just the result of a bigger problem. Not being a smart ar$e but there is no such thing as a 20 min aloy repair job,(without all the right gear ) it needs to be done properly or you can make the problem worse .
Marineline in Wangara is the guy to call, if you book it in he will have it sorted the same day .
boat is ally plate(5mm) and its not the hull that is cracked, its one of the seat edges that he keeps scraping his leg on. never thought about having to remove the tank(dumb move on my part, cheers till). ever heard of devcon? might be a solution. looks like welding might be outa the question.

Might be tough to find someone.
Is it ally plate, or like a tinny?
Is it old?
Have you removed the fuel tank?
