I haven't sold to scrapyards yet, but I would say no way! Lead is about $1.00/lb, market price. Do what you can to separate the lead from the steel. or try to sell the whole keel to someone that will offer you a fair price.$400+.If it's still useable try to sell it to a boat place. haven't sold to scrapyards yet, but I would say no way!

I cast my own 2600 lb lead keel for Alerion last summer using tire weight it was labour intensive but also not expensive either 4000 lbs lead ballast less than $500 cash including the steel for the mold. Lots of my own labour time.icked up a old keel from the scrap man and also a good deal of wheel weights. aprox 5500 LB. It has been a few years now. I paid 1.00 per pound. I did get a price quote to have it cast If I remember right it was about $ 12,000.00 - $ 15,000.00 Plus I would have to make the male mould.
