How much would a 55 gallon metal drum filled with lead wheel weights
weigh? A local service garage has filled one such barrel with all the
old wheel weights they take off tires. I asked them what that weighs,
they said they would like to know, because no one can even move it, much
less get it on a scale. All I know is that it's a hell of a boat
anchor....


Yeah, it would firmly anchor the boat to the bottom of the lake.
