Ericmerg,

80#'s?!  Wow, that's impressive.  Sorry I can't help you out with your question.  But, try looking up Josh Sowerby, a.k.a. Oliverstacy, here on tradgang.  He makes string's as a side business and does a great job!  Good luck.

I built a 70# boo backed ipe and I used 16 strand and didn't have any problem but I'm with Roy I wouldn't go any less than 16 with that much weight.
