Not Really the Same
This ark was built on a barge, and that is why this boat floats.

ABE... The half scale was on a barge.

He Did Build a Full Size Ark
I was a bit confused over whether a full size one was built or not. Huibers did build a full size one in Dordrecht, the Netherlands.
​
It is built on 25 steel barges.
​
quote:
Mr. Huibers admits he had to make concessions. The ark is built on 25 steel barges drawn together to form a basin. A heavy steel frame keeps it rigid. Asked about this, he replied, It’s much easier to make a wooden ark. Yet modern safety requirements made changes necessary.

Very impressive in size, but not in accuracy. Building one using the tools and materials available to Noah would impress me. I simply don't believe it would be easier to build one completely out of wood.

But I think if we are going to ask things in comparing the current ark to the biblical one, it is only fair to base our knowledge of the biblical ark on what is written about it in the Bible
​
My first problem would be the ark built by Huibers is built on 25 modern steel barges.
