Question about tube pressure loss over 24 hours

Yep. I would think there's enough room but buying more seats = less beer.

Get yer priorities right.

And don't forget the rack is glassed into the deck.

I don't drink beer so seats it is!

Was planning to remove it with a grinder and then repair the hole with firbreglass, then paint the deck.

But assuming otherwise is a drop from 2 to 1 1/4 psi within 24 hours a sign of a major air leak? The tubes do not completely deflate but probably taper off to less than 1 psi if left sitting for a long time (2 weeks). Or is this unavoidable for tubes of such age? I'm talking about my 1991 Avon Searider of course . Is it porosity or just too many small leaks through seams and such?

Have you checked for leaks along the seams using soapy water? That's the first thing to do.
