lost keel/ found keel

I just bought a chrysler 26 that was to have a stuck keel. I found out after the transaction that it was missing. My bad. The good news is the diver I hired to clean the bottom knows where it is. Anyone know how heavy it is?

It will be somewhere between 950and 1500 lbs, depending. Work out the volume in cubic feet and multiply by 450#.
