Why are these considered any more heavy duty than any other PVC boat? They dont look any different aside from a couple of patches applied for sitting on etc.

Hi my brother inlaw had one with aluniom floor and a 30hp went well.
Very heavy sib well put together, but too heavy for my liking!

The fabric is the heavy duty issue, more decitex, just in case.

It's slight thicker to standard pvc which is 0.9 mm and to hypalon models too. Each fabric on its own boating needs.
