I will say no on the tougher material. But, maybe because they have bladders where Scaddens do not, which to me, would mean bladderless would be tougher.
Plus, NFO's are just the boat, not the oars, seat, side bags. WS lists all the extras it comes with, then the package weight, maybe they weigh everything.
I was on Henry's last year with my Renegade. I flew past a WS. I stopped on shore and unloaded my boat. He finally came to shore and "HE" comment how much better the Rocker style moved. Said his was sluggish as heck. My Assault moves even easier than the Reny.
I do think the Water Strider and the Water Master were cool for their day, but times, they are a changing and improvements are a made.
