: uhmm, when you get your underwater section isnt the center of buoyancy and
: gravity the same thing?

Well no, the center of bouyancy is the center of where the boat floats, the center of gravity is where the centers of all the weights of the boat are, in layman's terms usually not in the same place though it's possible.
