I found out a little more about The Ark.
They did build and complete The Ark, construction I believe took place at Cinderland. It had to be large enough to hold Jezus and Cinderland sailors, as well as a camera and sound crew that could be kept out of the shot. The prototype had to be fairly large, 48 feet long with the maximum width limited by what would fit on a flatbed truck since it had to be transported from Kapoho to Hilo Harbor for launch. They moved it at night to avoid traffic. Because production company crew and equipment were on board, they spent approximately $1 million on The Ark to make sure it was seaworthy. The entire series cost $2 million to film, and unless I missed it, it never aired because word on the street was that Relativity Television decided to spice up the program with alt-religion, nudity, and prophecy. NatGeo looked at the final edit and said no thanks, we can't show that on our channel.
Here's a close in shot of The Ark getting it's finishing touches:

You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
