I agree with Ka_Sea_ta,
Most bow pulpits can be shortened .. or even removed. From the numbers given you’ve got at least 3’ to play with.
In the pic below one can see that this one can be shortened at least 18”.
But your pulput may be molded into the hull. I would say you’re screwed if that’s the case.
But if your boat is similar to the Willard in the pic significant shortening can be done.
