Default Cutting down the mast

Can I cut this mast down to fit my Bayliner Bucaneer?

I realize it costs more than my entire boat but I am upgrading - to quality!

Thanks!

But why cut it down? Why not fit a Ben36.7 sail plan onto
your boat? Think how much the performance will be improve,
what an upgrade... and people will think you have an even
fancier, more expensive, custom version of the popular B36.7!!

OTOH it could be that the 2" dimple in the middle has
compromised it. I bet it doesn't meet that Ixx spec any more!

Probably some clumsy truck driver dropped it.

Why cut it down? Just stick it all the way through and make the
Buccaneer a fixed keel boat.
