Among other things it depends on the ballast ratio. for a 12 tonne boat with 2 tonnes of added ballast there won't be a tremendous difference. For a 10 tonne boat with 4 tonnes of added ballast there would be a noticeable difference, most obviously felt by the difference in the pendulum period. Edited June 2, 2020 by Murflynn

However, fiberglass is permeable, and on some older boats, water tends to find its way into the ballast. If the ballast is iron, the results can be ugly as the metal oxidizes and expands. Having a two-part epoxy barrier coat like the Interlux Interprotect system goes a long way toward preventing this kind of problem.

Model boat materials for ballast: Lead Balance Weights. Due to it's high density, lead makes the best and most efficient ballast weights. A good ballast ensures that the center of gravity is as low in the hull as possible. It should be pointed out that lead is branded as a 'heavy metal' and as such has been determined poisonous.

In general, if iron ballast is exceptionally well encapsulated, both inside the vessel and out, and shows no signs of corrosion, then it is probably safe to assume it will remain this way (looking at sister ships in the same class, particularly ones that are older, may provide valuable clues as to the longevity of the installation).

The principal objection to internal ballast only is the obvious one. The boat's center of gravity will be higher and her righting arm lessened. The boat's motion might be less tiring on the crew, then again maybe not.

Keels are made of whatever material the boat is built of, such as fiberglass, wood, or aluminum, whilst the ballast is made of lead. The keel on most traditional sailboats is built into the shape of the boat with the ballast placed beside the keel or bolted to the bottom, which is especially suitable for cruise ships.

The lack of a diluting skin of fiberglass encapsulating the ballast lowers the depth of the lead that small but important skin thickness. The center of gravity is lower leading to increased performance. These two factors, the fairing and skinlessness, make a bolt-on keel boat faster. Performance boats like Swan use bolt-on keels.

With the hull builder, we have calculated that a total of 3 tonnes of ballast will be required. This equates to roughly 25 sq. metres of 50mm thick slabs. The main cabin is around 20sq. m, so I will have a total ballast capacity of around 40 sq.m. So this should give me a fair bit of flexibility in terms of where to locate it.
