Was the damage repaired with glass or bondo - what's under the paint? New hulls don't have any damage to repair. Your problems with this boat go well past algae growth.....
Irrespective of any algae growth issues or not, you have a damaged hull that was not properly repaired. Is this a reputable dealer you bought it from? I would be furious and would want a new hull.
