As Stevie Ray Vaughn sang; "It's floodin down in Texas"
It's rained for 45 straight days. I'm building an Ark.
My queston is: Should it have slicey ends? or volume for resurfacing? Obviously it will have a saddle.

Here are the measurements of the original Ark:
Genesis 6:15 in the Bible tells us the Ark's dimensions were at least 135 meters long (300 cubits), 22.5 meters wide (50 cubits), and 13.5 meters high (30 cubits). That's 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high! It could have been larger because several larger-sized cubits were used. But the 45-centimeter (18-inch) cubit is long enough to show the enormous size of the Ark.
Now for the BIG question...
...What's a cubit?
(A cubit was the length of a man's arm from fingertips to elbow.)
The original Ark had blunt ends

so do you want to stick to the original design, or add your own influence?
