I am looking for 176 old school Lines...preferrably Darksides or Skogan Sprangs. Must be in good shape and no bigger than 80 under boot.

Ski bumps, trees, park, etc etc...ski the east, so do not need powder skis. Nothing after like 2007.

I ski bumps and trees mostly. The fat skis DO NOT turn fast enough for bumps. For a mid-wester powder skis are worthless most of the year. I also like the old Salomon Ten-Eightys. I would just go with a bump ski...but want something a little more all mountain.

I have tried a ton of skis the past five years, and they all carve too hard and turn to slow. You can't ski them flat.

Sounds like a technique issue more so than the ski's issue. Explain "carve too hard and turn too slow".
