Gonna need a bit more info here buddy.  Are you keeping PEs for park?  if so at your size, defininately get 189's and probably mount them at recomended for all around ripping.  Def. don't mount them any further forward than rec.  If anything, a few cms back.

That was uncalled for.  And for the length question, it is more determined by preferance for speed vs agility, weight, and how aggressive a skier you are.  At your weight and for a pow ski, go longer.

I think you might have it mistaken with another ski, the obSETHed is 138 / 105 /125.

That's funny because it is so NOT a symetrical park ski that everyone assumed you were being a wiseass bag of deuche.  Its like saying, oh, the K2 pontoons just have to  be centermounted.  But it can be easy to confuse skis, there are a few hundred of them
