In your 3rd pic; you could cut off (shorten) the center stringer (where the bow almost hits now) closer to the winch area and still be able to attach the cross brace to the outside frame rails. If you cut about 3" forward of the U bolts looks like that would give you plenty of clearance.
Those tongue ends are made to fit various length trailers so they could be shortened to fit your boat needs.
