Here's your plans HSPD/David use to check-in on occasion, been a spell since I seen him though.

PS: Vertical with this boom length will be an issue as the boom supports, I would think will tend to make the construction interesting. The boom supports and the vertical elements any "flex" at all and it will trash the antenna.
Horizontal only way to go.
You want better vertical preformance, stacked 4's... IMHO your only choice is to stack them side by side.
I remember the days of guys trying to run vertical stacked 5's or larger...they did not stay up long.
They also would have BIG issues with rotors, the wind loads are tremendous...and your in FLA!
All the Best
