Dang, you guys must have some real hard cases watching out for bow riding. In Oklahoma we bowfish off the front so rails just get in the way. That's why they call them "bow" riders:)
Seriously, if you have a cutoff saw and a buddy that has a welder I think you could make the old rails work for a new look. If you shorten the middle supports and move the back supports toward the bow you should be able to align with the original holes. Is there a threaded nut welded into the end of the supports?
