Melt it down and make a keel?
In Response To: Yes, but you get to feel good about being environmentally responsible. ()
The 39' custom I helped build a while back had a 6800# keel - all made from old tire weights! A lab checked the antimony at 4% - perfect! Makes me wonder whether to recycle my old batteries or melt down he lead and just save the ingots - an investment in lead futures?
