Who Invented Boats?

Robert Fulton invented the Boat.

I like namd1's answer is good but I think that boats were probably in use long before the Great Flood. The ark was built to God's specifications, but for Noah to actually know what he was doing with those instructions kind of makes me think that he (or others) had experience with the concept of boat building.  Since the creation of water and then the creation of man soon after (approximately 5000-6000 years ago) I can only imagine that they all had the urge to go exploring and would've had to use boats to cross rivers, lakes, etc.

They won't accept this answer but did you ever hear of the noah's ark(made by Gods specifications before the first recorded rains on earth)) no one actually knows who claims to be the first boat builders and when. They only have what they believe to be the documented first person to make a boat and then you have the discussion of what is a boat/a raft/a dugout/a conoe....you can look up phonecians/phoenicians...

Some had to invent it with a motor!!!!!so come on people think! Think! Think!

I agree with lurch777 he must have had an idea before making the arch. So I guess this a question with no answer.
