A method and device for finding the center of balance with respect to the longitudinal axis of a marine vessel or other large vessel that includes a carriage pivotably attached to a subframe via one or more pivot pins inserted into pillow block bearings. Boat bunks are attached to horizontal rails of the carriage such that they can slide independently along those rails. The carriage can feature a number of stoppers that are positioned to engage with a portion of the subframe when the carriage tips far enough to the right or left side. These stoppers can activate scales located on the subframe to assist the user in centering or balancing the mass of the vessel and any equipment located therein.
