I've seen loads fly while watching power boat racing, granted not for very long and rather unpleasant for the driver, sometimes fatal.. But indeed fly they did..
Boats in general are designed to float, so in theory they should probably glide at best..
Why not buy a b52 and drop yourself out of it inside a boat.. If you can still type afterwards post your results @ Verysillyperson.com.

Some do.
The reason for why it is difficult to keep boats aloft is because they are not designed for lift and the propulsion is not suited for flight. The propulsion is suited for water. Change the propulsion, the aerodynamics and add wings then you have a flying machine.

Planes that land on water are kind of like a boat.

Hydroplanes do. Boats can't fly because they are not built to fly. If they were, they'd be called airplanes.

Boats Float. That's why.

Probably because they don't have wings and their engines are designed on different principles to aircraft. You may as well ask why can't aircraft float across the sea. They are two sepearate entities designed for their particular purposes and not for any other.

They're not made to fly. It's like knowing about the importance of water in sailing
