I am looking into purchasing a drysuit but seems all the ones I click on are not my size, I am 5.11 & 165lbs my price range is 700 or less. any thoughts or tips are welcome. I have zero knowledge in this subject.

This is the one I use and I am really happy with it.  Having the neoprene neck gasket is way more comfortable than latex.  We used to have a 15% discount at Outdoor Play for NWKA members. They are based in Hood River and have always been good to deal with.  There is a sizing chart on their website.  Sometimes these go on sale for under $500 but not likely before you need it.

Being retired, they pay me when I go fishing, therefore I am kind of a professional fisherman.

Thanks for the info, I looked at this earlier today, They are back ordered as most things are in this era. I have added my email to there "notify me when in list".

So now I must be patient, fisherman are patient right..lol

Since they have no dry suits in stock, this isn't working right now, but if you get a chance in the future, go to the Kokatat Custom Shop (https://kokatat.com/custom), pick a suit similar to the one you want and go through their sizing questions.  It'll tell you your correct size.

I'd have guessed one size larger then what their system returned - and they were right.

First: ???

Second: If you're looking at suits in Hydrus 3L why aren't you looking at the Supernova in Hydrus 3L.  Kokatat are really nice folks, if you haven't already, call them and ask when they'll have your size in stock.  Also ask here - someone might know of a shop one in stock.
