One problem with the foam placement. What you say makes great sense, but not the case in apparently several models.
You say side by side.
Mine had a TAPER to them. Higher in the front (one piece of foam) and lower in the back so NO WAY could you put them side by side. Well you could but you would be sitting lop sided.
I can't believe you didn't know that, but again, this was one of the first SFC.
The fact it was higher in the front was a great idea.
Now being a fly tier and a fair I.Q. I realize the foam cannot retain the water, but the POCKET it goes in can. It seem to me, all the little air pockets from the foam held the water in the pillow case seat more than the inflatable. And yes I know there are holes in the pillow case, but not on the edges which is where they should be for proper drainage.
We have had inflatable seats now for 15 years (in one form or another) and NEVER had a leak. I mean nothing...perfect, as good as day one.
