I don't know if linking the Bimini to the side rails will help much. In order to be of any benefit the support needs to go from the base bow on the Bimini up high in the corners to a point on the gunwale on the opposite side of the boat in both directions as to form an X. I guess you could use the opposite rail as an attachment point instead of the gunwale. I would use nylon straps on a boat like yours and keep them fastened for traveling. They should be easily removable as they will surely be in the way when you are trying to move around the boat. Not as ridged as stiff support bars but a great improvement to eliminate side to side wobble. I emailed you close ups of the mounting plate as I always have problems posting photos
