Ha ha well spotted.

I don't think "used" alloy is any different to weld than new. Yeah I built this boat from scratch but have seen the guys patch alloy dump truck bits so it can be done for sure.

AC welding is a bit tricky (and loud) for a new welder but you could give it a go if you wanted to spend the cash on the appropriate unit! Another way to do it is with a push pull torch on a MIG... a whole heap of my boat was done with the MIG and just the bits up top that are noticeable (wind screen, handles etc) are TIG.

Honestly just give it a go, far too many people have told me "that's way too difficult" and I've listened. Only way to find out if you can do it is if you try.... and the internet is your friend.
