So my dad builds boats for a living. They just dropped a new boat in the water, floats high in the stern, they need 253 lbs quick. I've got about that much on hand. I spent roughly $0.80/lb on it at a scrap yard and somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 hours if not more melting it down, cleaning it and pouring ingots. Not to mention the $10 at least worth of propane I burnt. This is a $1,000,000+ boat and they need it to float right by Tuesday. I am in a good bargaining position but I also want to be reasonable. I am thinking that about $2.15/lb would be reasonable? I know that to order lead and have it delivered is upwards of $3 usually. Their usual go to for small amounts of ballast in a hurry is lead shot from the local LGS which doesn't carry nearly enough, though that would cost under $2. Obviously it depends on the person what it is worth to them, but to those that have been privy to the lead market for longer and have a better idea of the value, what would you recommend?
