Board length and body weight question?

How religiously should I follow the companies weight rating for their boards? I have been riding a 157cm Burton Rippey since 2001. I was probably 200lbs at the time but I am now 250 lbs (not all fat gain, muscle too haha). Burton says the Burton Custom 163 is rated for up to 205lbs. I don't want to ride a board that is too long, 163cm is the longest I would want to ride, Burton has higher weights for wider boards. I have never ridden a wide board, I wear size 9 or 10 snowboard boots and don't have an issue with toe drag so I don't really want a wide board. I am an intermediate rider, I do get chattering on heel edge turns on blue runs. Would a longer board help with the chattering? The chattering impact is hard on my knees and I want to get rid of that.
