How much more track is on the ground on 175 vs 165?

[Doo2015]

The 175" is only 1.7" longer than the 165". How much more track is on the ground?

How did you arrive at 1.7" longer than 165"?

Skidoo website under the specs

There was a good comparison on dootalk showing how many rows of paddles each length puts on the snow but I'm too lazy to look it up

I would say 5" total on the ground, so 2 more row of lugs?

 

[Doo2015]

You can look up pictures of both and they each count 9 rows of outside lugs on the ground. I'm not seeing any extra track on the ground.

OMG
They are the rear wheel in difference roughly .
It's just a misprint on specs.

Not sure why pics don't show more track on the ground then?

not sure if this will help but a gen4 165 sitting on sled deck beside a 2016 174 tracks touch deck at about the same time but the 174 is approx half dimension on rear wheel longer. i would imagine the 175 would be about the same. so my guess would be 2.5 to 3 inches more track on ground but with spacing of paddles be same amount of paddles for both sleds touching at any given time
