I have some 187 prodigy 1.0s but they are measured along the base so they are not true 187. Thus I am shying away from factions.

Candides come big I think
K2 reckoner is going to be in a 190
Moment makes some big stuff
ON3P as well
Fatypus made a 194 D sender for awhile, I still ride that since it's big, somewhat light, but I can still charge on it.

I'm most excited for the K2 Reckoner.

To name a few of my favorites:
Atomic Backland 117: 193
Atomic Bentchetler 120: 192
Blizzard Bodacious: 196
Black Crows Anima: 194
Faction Candide 4.0: 194
Faction Prodigy 4.0: 193
Nordica Enforcer 104 or 110: 191
Rossignol Blackops 98: 192

Go to a local shop and scope out the longer skis at the back of the stack. Also not that hard to sort by length on a lot of online retailers.
