it has been done here before, as stated as long as its not welded you should be good to go!, I removed mine all together, wasn't of any use in my boating.

Soak the screws with some good penetrating stuff and they should come out OK - if not Marine Part Depot has SS parts cheap. I just cut out the center part of my rail to accomodate a special kind of anchor system and it went pretty easy. Good suggestion about the pipe cutter.

I wish I could remember, but somebody here did that...LOOKED GREAT!...The center section of the only rail I have is cut away, so I am considering doing the same shortening you are...I've cut two of these rails to date and used a pipe-cutter on each...have extra blades on hand if using one of the smaller, hardware store versions...I went thru about 3 blades on each bow rail...
On removing the rail, pre soak (for days) hex-nuts from underneath, unless you know yours are corrosion free, assume they are not...then clamp on a pair of vice-grips from underneath if yer doing alone...if the screw backs out from up top, you did good...if not, drill that puppy and move on...

Look close at the anchor stuck in the rod-holder just behind the top...That's the anchor that started the name "Norton Snagger" when I asked Franco if he ever snagged his Nortons on that anchor gettin' in/out of the boat!!...Ha ha ha...MJ, glad ya reposted those pics!!...I really miss Franco around here...
