It was the layup, and materials too I believe. They had some better techniques with the later ones and they were around 900# vs the early ones at over 1200#.
Even that the later ones came in different weights. Mine, for instance, has no core in the front under the deck, just woven roving, and it's pretty thin at that. It is what is considered a mid-weight layup. The hull is strong, but laid up light in the front as well. There is not a lot of core up there either, forward of the foot box.
