I did measure the Watea from the tip to tail on the base, and it was right at 176. (so I assumed any error was my measuring accuracy).
I will do the same with the UC's when they get in, and plan to post some pictures as well.
I expect the difference to be largely in the tail (the Watea has a bit of a flare, but certainly not a twin tip) and the UC looks to have more rise in the front as well.? I was surprised that the proportionate increase in width from the watea to the UC was less at tip and tail than at center.

Exotic Skis pictures.? UC foreground, Howitzer background. First picture is tails, second is tips.? I would say that there is at least? 2" more in the tail off the snow as compared to the Watea 84.? Like you say, measurements will tell some of that.? The tip isn't as noticeable, but probably still an inch more than the Watea.
