I LOVE the 170! As others have said - roomier than the 165. I am 6' tall and it is perfect for me. I have taken it on a 220 mile expedition and went 9 days with no re-supply and it had plenty of space. My hands-down go-to for kayak camping. I do have one I am considering selling if you are interested in a used one. Message me at 843-834-0064

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 😄
