I'm pretty sure they cover the frame with $100 bills.

ultra tough means using thicker plywood and fiberglass.

Light-weight means thinner ply and fiberglass.

Well weight. Let me back up.

To make a light-weight, very strong boat you'd use the best materials (marine ply, fiberglass, epoxy). This is very strong and light as compared to using heavier cheap ply or a plastic boat.

Then there are light weight options on some models where you can get away with using thinner than standard ply.
