I heard on another thread that it would be easier to push to masters with the boost

I am a th8 with all elixir troops maxed (everything is level 5 and the healer, drag, and pekka are level 3). My dark troops are level 1 except the minion, which is level 2 and upgrading to 3 now (5 days left).

My cup level atm: 1791 (G1)
My strategy:
BAM as long as I can (until maybe 2000-2200)
Balloonian the rest of the way to masters (30 loons, 25 minions)
If that proves to be too hard, I'll drag+rage it to masters (1 hog for cc luring, 15 archers, 9 dragons)

My goals: (im aiming high)
1/1 wed. : Gold 2
1/2 thurs. : gold 1
1/3 fri.: crystal 3
1/4 sat.: crystal 3
1/5 sun.: crystal 2

My questions:
Can I make it to masters by boost raiding?
What strategy should I use, based on the levels above.
What base should I use? This is my base. If there are any better ones, please post them.

Bam to 2300, then loon it. Not difficult. Look at ♥♥ of Crimson's sky youtube: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs07ighwYMcB903Xj5eONsw

;) Thanks!

I'm using 10 lvl 3 drags, along with 2 lvl 5 Rage Spells and a lvl 5 Heal Spell. I'm also TH8, just using my farm design.
I'm at 2410- 2450 as of this post.

Idk, looning with level 5 balloons and level 2 minions will prove very difficult.

I would say snipe for as long as you can, but seeing as you said you're in Crystal 1 - they're probably becoming scarce. You'd probably be best off with the "drag/rage/heal" combo you had going. Balloons level 5 and minions 2 (as stated above) - with only 200 troops would be rough - possible, but rough.
