Just to expand on Hai's point a bit, one of the major issues when
comparing implicit solvent to explicit solvent runs is that in
explicit solvent, conformational sampling is typically much slower
than in implicit solvent (due to friction, explicit solvent
rearrangement, etc). You haven't said how long the explicit solvent
runs are, but you need to be sure that the structural properties in
each simulation are reasonably converged before you compare them, and
if you've only run explicit solvent as much as your implicit (17 ns)
chances are the run is not converged.

This result may not necessarily be wrong, but as Carlos said the GB
neck (igb=7) model has a tendency to destabilize hydrogen bonding so
be wary of these results. For more on this see:
