PPrince, just looking at your latest pics, I just wanted to point out the pipe on top of your heater is a "draft hood" not a "vent cap"... My point being is that it is not weatherized and you may want to get a hold of the proper vent cap for outdoor use. I am sure a proper "cap" can be engineered to convert the draft hood you have, just that using it the way it is will cause excess moisture to get to the heat exchanger and burners, reducing the life of both.
Good choice on the Brundy bonding plate... I went with the same setup.
Let me know if the skimmer you got fits well... After reading the reviews of that model having fit/finish issues (also, get some new stainless screws since the ones supplied with it are supposed to be low-quality stainless and they rust), I ended up going with a Hayward SP1091WM setup.
