I'm 5'11 and ride 179cm and 174cm. the 174 are my primarily park ski but i got an offer from somone whos gonna sell me his 163 atomics which are prety beat. But i plan on using them for urbans/Summer/water ramp ski. Is it worth it? Or are these skis just too small?

for someone who's 5'11 i'd say 174 is hella short, i'm 5'10 and i ride in the 180 range but they won't be so short you can't ski them, for an urban it's not really an issue, all you really need is enough ski to hit rails and little jumps so i'd say it's fine but you might want something longer for more pop, i'd normally say that's really short but i don't want to deprive amo of a sale, i think it'd work
