Glass in 150-200 lbs of lead weight in the stern. It's very small for it's weight. I have 200 lbs in (1) plastic milk carton. I bought 250 lbs of lead from a metal scrap place years ago for $75 ( to weigh the trunk of a BMW down in the snow ).

Car's gone. Now I have a life long supply of lead for sinkers for the melting pot ( make that 10 life times worth ! )

If I were in your predicament, and it bothered me, I would figure out a way to properly glass in lead. It won't rust. And if thought-out well and done properly - you could remove it any time...
