Opinions on this welded aluminum hull

[Robbyracks]

Hello folks,

I am considering this 2000 Crestliner 182 model with a 150 HP Etec. I am a little concerned about the hull (only seen it in pictures/videos). Before I put an offer in and test the hull, I want to get some feedback on what I am seeing in these pics.. it appears that fairly visible lines have emerged along the hull running parallel with the length of the boat. I have never owned a welded hull.. I've read that this could be "oil canning". I have a video too if that helps.. Thoughts? TY

Id be puttin some legs on that ( running away...... real fast )......even if it didnt have an Etec.

That's just where the interior structure is welded. Nothing to worry about, every welded boathas those.

Sign on the side says it all Great Lakes Outfitters that hull has run at full throttle for hours over rough waters, I would pass.
