Original prototype Hi Tech CG - O - Meter - Often found as a minor structural component inside your next-door neighbor's lawn furniture. Best obtained while they're away on vacation

Maybe you could sell some to Gfreak and they can sell them as stage 10 cog meters and make you rich lol

Actually all these folks are talking about center of balance which is 2 dimensional. Center of gravity is 3 dimensional and can be a point in space outside of the boat. As is evident by Tony's responses - as all his thinking is out of the boat!

Correction : Most of my thinking is about a closely related concept : the Center of Gravy http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...d=0CIgBEPwdMAw

I was actually employed as a design consultant on the Fold A Way Timber after they caught wind of my original Vac-U-Pickle prototype :

We eventually worked the bugs out after conquering some aerodynamic issues (and the extension cord dilemma) : http://www.vac-u-boat.com/Vac-U-Pickle.htm

Use your fingers

You're 100% correct although it would obsolete the empire I intend to create marketing the Hi-Tech CG-O-Meter.
