With an 8 foot boom, you'll probably fit 9 elements:

13dBi gain, 44 degree beamwidth.
Here's another yagi calculator program:

It will do a variety of driven elements and yagi styles. It also
exports results to 4NEC2.
My calculation, based on a database of 100+ EME antennas predicts 13.6
dBi maximum reasonable gain. So that sounds about right.
