I don't have a strong preference one way or the other -- just trying to get a sense of the differences between these two models. I see both on the used market, without much more price difference than you would expect given the age differences. Which left me wondering if there were other qualitative differences beyond hull volume and weight.

How does the 170 do with the extra 500 lbs of hull weight and a lower max engine HP rating?
