With the rocker on those chargers, I think you'd be fine with getting 115's... The raised portion of the tip and tail aren't in contact with the snow, so getting a skin that fits your ski tip wall-to-wall is a bit of overkill. The 115's will give you full coverage underfoot, which is where the majority of your grip comes from anyhow. Lengthwise - kinda tricky since your 171's fall in the overlap in their sizing. Personally, I'd go with the short but you might consider asking someone at BC.com to check out the lengths on a pair of chargers. Use the live-chat and see what happens.
