You are less likely reaching 6'4 with the current height at 17 years old because you have long passed the growth spurt. Furthermore, your height is also partly dependent on your mother's height. At least, you have surpassed your dad with the good genes from your paternal side but you are considered lucky if you can reach 6'2 by 21 years old.
