Obvious answer, about two feet.
I also think the 176 does not have the two piece (starboard and port) windshield, but has four total pieces of glass.
Older Ski Nautiques that are 19 feet, 6 inches long (before 1996) may also have the four pieces of glass in the windshield.
Ski Nautiques were not called 196's until 2003, when they tried to call every boat by a number.

All te 176's I've seen say "Ski Nautique 176" on the side, so you can't miss it.

FWIW, my 176 did not come with "176" decals after the Ski Nautique script...not removed by previous owner either...
