Rereading your post, I hope you aren't planning to ground the boot and not ground the outer CRT dag. This would leave the outer CRT dag floating, and it may build up charge and arc. Also, grounding only the boot makes it act as a capacitor plate a longer distance from the inside of the CRT, thus reducing the capacitance.

Both the CRT outer dag and the boot should be grounded.
