Need Help Finding Skins That Will Fit My Skis

Looking for some skins that will fit my massive ON3P Cease and Desists, they are 193's. Their dimensions are 149/129/134, anybody have a skin in mind that will have a big enough tip hook?
 
Correct me if I am wrong as I don't know much about skins but wouldn't I need 150 skins since my skis are 149 at the tip and continue to get wider from there?
 
You should be fine with 140mm BD's. I don't know exactly where the measurements are taken on the C&D's, but in a tapered ski with a 3 point dimension, the first dimension should be the widest point in the tip? Also, a slight lack of ski coverage in the tip won't lead to any lost traction since the tip is rockered anyway. Many people cut their skins at an angle coming into the tip clip anyway.

Also, I highly recommend Black Diamond Ascensions.
 
I believe ON3P measures at true tip, not 100% i'll message my buddy. I just don't want to go too small and not have the tip clip be able to fit over
 
Widest part of the tip/narrowest width underfoot/widest dimension in the tail

You should be good if theres about 5mm of overhanging ski in the tips, especially considering the surface area already.
 
If you're worried about tip hooks you can switch them out. Just buy the widest ones you can find/afford
 
Due to the nature of the tip connectors on G3 skins you should be able to get them over the tip. A G3 XLong 140 would fit the C&Ds, remember when the width of the ski is getting considerably wider than 140, it's in the rockered section and thus you wouldn't be using it to skin on.
