Years back, I bought a Eureka Backcountry 1 tent from the outlet for cheap just to play around with or to take out when I dont care about weight. Now, I would like somthing similar only lighter materials, and I cant find anything that is remotely close to the size.

I could create a cuben fly for it and replace the poles with carbon fiber, but I would rather buy something with a lighter inner tent, and a vestibule.

Floor size: 8 feet by 3 feet. Center height: 3 feet, 2 inches. Weight: 3 pounds, 14 ounces. Around 3 pounds 4 oz without bags and stakes.

 

Is there anything out there, freestanding, around this size only lighter?

This is only 7′ long, but otherwise fits your description: https://www.marmot.com/tungsten-ul-1p/29700.html

I’ve seen plenty of 90″ long tents, but not many 96″

There is a good chance that the Marmot has more usable space than the Eureka :

my guess is that the Eureka loses at least one foot because of the angle of the inner end  walls.
