bow rail lowered
My$0 .02. I cut my bow rail so I could get the v in the garage (7ft ht x 16 ft wide door) I had to cut a section out of the middle as the reduction in height, 6 inches, also moved the rail back a bit, AND changed the needed curve for the bow. I also ended up cutting off the 5 degree attachment points near the cockpit, as the fittings there changed also. I used furniture type nylon plugs. I am OK with it, its a fishing boat.
BUT if you have the tools, or a muffler or pipe shop near by, you might be able to bend the ends downward and use base rail hardware to attach them to the deck. if it don't work cut em off. http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...hp?albumid=161

If you cut the upright different amounts, the angle will change between those two uprights. Seems to me you'd need to cut the same amout from each of the uprights to avoid changing the angle & getting it in a bind.

changes
You are correct sir, ALL the angles of attachment change, some a little some a Lot. and the rail is wider originally at the widest part of the boat deck, that point now moves back. (picture an overhead view of the rail in its original place. Now move it astern a few inches) it gets complicated. Cutting is simplest. Bending gets the best look but is really difficult w/o some special tools.
