The water from around the boat enters through a hole. If the material of the boat is heavier than water, or the materials inside the boat make it heavier than water (on the average) then replacing the air in the boat with water will remove its buoyancy and it may sink.
The air that is in the boat is lighter than the water that takes its place, which makes the boat ride lower until it sinks. The water comes into the boat because water is more dense than air and will displace it. It can be said that water seeks its own level - the water inside the boat will rise to the same level as the water outside of the boat.
