temporary ballast

ok I have a bad tank in my boat it is listing fairly with 120 or so gallons of diesel on the port side. I am a also getting ready to remove the gen set from the same side. lead ballast bars are expensive . what would be an appropriate cheaper ballast for a year or so? I want to use the boat so whatever I use would need to be secured.

I also have a bow down thing going on too .but I think that will be fixed when I refill the water tanks .

has anyone used any of these.

1. buckets of concreate
2. scrap steel plate
3. water tank or bag
4. if I modify the water tank piping to only fill the starboard tank will it stress the hull
