After building on other projects the last month (3D Printer - steam boat engine) I am back to the Rami Project.

I first painted all regions under the deck.

And glued in the also painted deck ribs afterwards.

In the moment I am working at the driver seats.

Thanks! I hope to find some time to build a little more the next time - you never know...

Here are the results from the last days:

Gluing the seats

Back rest mounted - outer shape of the back rest will be trimmed during the following steps

View from the stern:

Afterdeck ribs glued to the two stringers in the middle - no connection to the boat's sides jet.

Afterdeck removed again to complete all work under the afterdeck. Will do the painting here before gluing also

First coat in the aft room. To avoid back pain I will paint this room before gluing in the aft deck.

Some areas are not painted jet because I have to fix other parts at that positions later.

Very nice work!

Your deck supports look almost like shipyard welded steel plate structures.

Yes, I am not "the" woodworker. So that is why I trust plywood and epoxy more than natural grown wood.

I started to drill some holes to lighten the structure. After 4 holes I stoped duing this because such holes are more difficult to sand and to paint than the plain structure - and the weight reduction does not really count... Now with 4 holes the support structure of 1.3 m² = 13 sqft weights about 4.4 Kg = 10 lbs
