Following in the tradition of the great inventor,  Ron Popeil  (of Dial-O-Matic, Veg-O- and Pocket Fisherman fame), the up and coming Joel Lotilla (alias, “da Mooch”) is well on his way to marketing success.

Up till now, he is best known for his line of "Highly Developed", “Enhanced”  Man-Kitchen accessories.  But like Popeil he is now turning his sights from kitchen to open water.

As a technology buff of sorts, Mr. Lotilla invited me to a private, beta testing of his newest brainstorm—as yet to be named

Every kayaker is familiar with the distressing hydraulic/hydrostatic challenge faced on the water. As with ships, their comes a time when ballast needs redistribution. This is most acutely experienced during rough seas when typical remedies can expose one to anything from unpredictable thermal fluctuations to catastrophic capsizing.

An avid kayak angler himself, Mr. Lotilla focused his inventive genius on this age-old challenge.

The testing session is depicted in the following frames:


PROPER POSITIONING


THE WORKING END


PRODUCT TESTER, BEN-GEE, DEMONSTRATES INSTALLATION


DISTAL INSTALLATION COMPLETE


FUNCTIONAL TESTING

THIS SOLUTION HAS NUMEROUS, DEMONSTRATED ADVANTAGES:

•   IT WILL BE WIDELY AVAILABLE
•   ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT: 100 % GREEN AND FULLY RECYCLABLE
•   CAN BE TAILORED TO FIT ALL SIZES AND LENGTHS
•   SIMPLE, WITH NO MOVING PARTS TO BREAK OR REPLACE
•   IN A PINCH, RINSED AND THINLY SLICED, IT CAN ADD SPUNK TO THE
        BLANDEST OF SEA SALADS…AND PROBABLY STRENGTHEN YOUR JOINTS AND
        ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE

NOT ONLY IS IT GOOD FOR YOU…IT’S GOOD FOR THE EARTH!

WITH ALL THESE GREAT FEATURES, I PREDICT IT WILL BE A LONG RUNNING SUCCESS!!!
