An ARK (Heb: tevah′) is a rectangular CHESTLIKE vessel with a flat bottom. In the case of Noah's Ark, it needed only to float, stay balanced, and store alot of cargo.(Genesis 6:14-16) Other examples of this in The Bible are: The Ark (or CHEST) used by Moses' mother when she put him in the Nile River (Exodus 2:2-4), and The Ark of the Covenant, which was a sacred CHEST holding the stone tablets, a jar of manna and Aaron's branch (Exodus 25:10, 11)(Hebrews 9:4)

A BOAT generally has sharp bow to cut through the water and some form of steering to direct it's course, power source to move it and deck area, none of which was needed on Noah's Ark.
