Given your clearance issues, one option you might consider is having a canvas shop sew a patch of heavy suede or leather over the area of the boot that will experience abrasion from the engine. Another option might be to add solid support legs in lieu of the rear straps for the bimini, so that when it is folded closed it remians in an upright position.
JRP the 'soft' patch on the boot would be a good Idea but you can't trailer with the closed (booted) bimini in the upright position so that isn't an option.
Bill I basically have the same hull type/length and instead of folding backwards I always store mine folded forward as I would have the same problem when going aft. I have forward railing so I bungy the frame off to the side rails. (which is also not ideal, BW did not put much design thought into the biminies on these smaller boats)
