I missed the last run of 3 oz. beachmaster pencils that might have come close to fitting the bill.

The Gibbs pencils I use (2 and 2.75oz) have always floated vertically with the nose about 1" out of the water. I don't know about the larger ones. I build a copy, and I weighted some to float at 45 degrees (based on something I heard about older version BM pencils) but I didn't find them particularly useful.
