I have an aluminum boat that I have been operating for over twenty years where the bilge always has some water in it. Its where aluminum comes in contact with stainless steel where the problems develop. In my personal experience aluminum itself is not a problem concerning water in a bilge.
I would consult with a naval architect or the expert at a good boat yard who deals in these matters.
