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!

Bob Albers just casted a 4600 lb keel for the Schooner Susan.... the cost to have it cast was $10K....plus or minus... He bought about 2500 lbs of lead in bags of shot... to make up for what he did not already have...at a bit less than $1/pound.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.
