WTB - 195 Line Motherships
I've spent 2 years trying to find a replacement for this ski and cant do it.
Someone must have a pair collecting dust in a closet somewhere?
I can offer up a pair of 191 movement goliaths for trade. Drilled once for Px bindings at about 325. Or a set of 198xwing Labs. Drilled a bunch of times but otherwise in good shape.

You might find a pair. Good luck!
I think your BSL is near my 314, right? If so, feel free to request to borrow from my Mobile Ski Lending Library this winter, to maybe learn more about which contenders you might like or hate. Here's a list of some of the Library's contenders for a lover of 195cm Motherships (sorted heaviest to lightest):
196 Scott Stunt
195 Line Mothership
193 Atomic Big Daddy
198 Rossi RC112
190 Atomic Powder Plus
194 Dynastar LP XXL
195 Rossi SC108
194 Salomon El Dictator
192 PMgear Bro192
193 Blizzard Cochise
193 Nordica Blower
193 Prior Overlord
197 Volkl Katana
194 Faction Thirteen
195 ZAG H112

Been looking for a long time myself as well.
My favorite ski for being a big dude (6'6" 260lb) and can't find a pair to save my life.
I have a pair in the garage that have so many core shots theres more ptex than base and are gettin floppy from being skied 300+ days over the last 8 years.

From Vit I list the 198 RC112 is a big boy ski. Had a pair for a while then went lighter...

Interesting thread. Was looking for a vintage b-squad recently. The Armada Ant was close.

I've skied most, not all, potential replacements, none have that same feel. Most are too planky and 1 dimensional as just point and chute guns, the moships had a sidecut I really jivved with. Currently skiing head a stars for pow days and line devastators for everyday. Both very solid replacements and not sure I would swap them out for motherships, but more like the guy who dailys a modern car but still takes the old Camaro out on weekends... I want a pair

I dunno dude, my rock/work skis are often ANTs, they're a sturdy plank but, I had a pair of 189 squads and those live in another universe- so frightening. Though I recall the 189 and 194 were the full on, and the other two lengths supposedly a bit less.
Nordica Girish is a pretty amazing mid-agro crusher too, let me know if you stumble into a nest of 185s.

Thanks BanditMan! Sorry it took me so long to see this. I was actually thinking about the old green machine. Checked Seattle CList, and didnt see the 194.
Tuco, if you have a line on the 194, I'm definitely interested. Thank you all!!
