If any object, placed on the water, weighs more than the total weight of the water it displaces, it will sink. Your Steel boat probably has a too thick hull, making it very heavy. A thinner hull, making the boat lighter, just might float your boat!

Why does a solid piece of clay while a clay boat can be made to float?
The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.

Can you float a block of steel in water?
Not as long as it's still in the shape of a block. But if you re-shape it into the shape of a cup ... whether round or rectangular ... it will float, because it displaces much more water than a block does. If your cup-shape is done artistically and with care, people may call it what it looks like ... a little "boat" or "ship". Those objects are usually made out of re-shaped blocks of steel.
Why can a boat float in the water even through it's made out of more dense materials than water?
Almost all of the boats are made of the material of higher density than water. It is a shape of the boat that makes it float on water. After displacing the amount of water equal to the weight of the boat ,it will not go deeper.At older times tribal people (even today also ) used small boats carved out of wooden logs.
