The boat was 30 cubits tall and the water was 15 cubits tall. What is more amazing is that even if the boat did float in water that was half its height this reveals that there is no way that this flood could have covered all things. The Ark when it was built was twice as tall as the waters and surely it didn't tower over mountains. Therefore, water half its height wouldn't cover mountains either.
So if you want to talk about miracles that could have been done to make the ark work... lets start with the miracle of God making 15 cubits high of water cover all the land of the whole world.
Genesis 6:15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Genesis 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
