The 170 is noteably roomier and less rocker than the 165. I fit the 165 like a glove and love the boat. I'm 5'8 with 30" inseam. They used to make a 180 size and was made in glass. "Pro".

I loved my 165, it handled beautifully, and I only sold it because 53 lb is too much for me. Wilderness makes a great boat and I can tell you that the 165 tracked beautifully. I know this isn't exactly the boat you asked about, but couldn't resist throwing in my two cents 😄
