pilot seat was placarded for a minimum of 170 pounds up front
minimum?

bottom line, different criteria discussed here.

170lbs is the weight for regulatory compliance such as seat testing.

The GA8 has several different floor loading zones, the highest is around 93kg per square foot. This figure is for freight
per square foot is much different that per seat.

other weights apply for the airline to use for loading purposes.
