First of all, I didn't say "couldn't float," I said "will sink." You idiots always do this, you go for the most simplistic possible view of the ark: "Oh, it floats for a bit, therefore..."
No. The problem is that a wooden boat like that- even if it was using iron braces, like the largest wooden ship ever constructed did, and that was still smaller than the ark- flexes in even placid water. It bends and takes on water, it needs to be bailed out constantly, and that's during calm seas, not during the middle of a raging flood when the ship is full of animals, and has no way of steering against the tide. The ark would sink.
Also, as has already been pointed out, the ark replica is a metal boat with a wooden covering. So I'm curious: did you read that line and then decide to lie about it, did you not read the article at all, or did you read the bit that confirmed what you wanted to be true and then stopped?
read this part before posting - 'the hull was built by welding the metal hulls.' but still think it's a fair representation.
