Straight Cut
This was a wrecking yard cut with not a lot of experience to do it.
The accuracy of the cut makes people think it took a while.. Not so.
The one that was done here in town actually cut a rub-rail screw in half during the first and only cut.. Crazy.

I'm sure they did, then took what they wanted then kindly returned it somewhere.

A friend had his 30 Velocity stolen years ago, didn't know it was gone, gets a phone call in the middle of the night from the police..... excuse me sir, your 20 foot baot is burning on a back road, I own a 30 foot boat, well there is 20 feet of boat burning with your reg. #'s on it. They cut the last 10 feet off, loaded evrything and drove away.
If he would have noticed it gome before the police called him, they would have been looking for a 30 foot boat on a trailer, not 10 feet of something under a tarp on a flat bed.

That was our Spectre "TOP CAT" had our 1300 hp whipple blown motors, we sold it to a fellow Dave Suddoth up in Colorado. Had B max drives and ran right at 170 mph. That thing would accelerate like a monster.
Gess he had it for a year or so then we heard about the "half off" situation!
ps anyone sees one bright yellow 572's w r980 whipples same color you know where they came from!

The entire boat was stolen, taken from a storage facility, turned up a few months later cut.

I bought a Sthil gas powered 14" diamond partner saw for just this kind of thing (not striping stolen boats 
) I've purchased several boats for drivelines or trailers and use it to cut up whats left and with a large diameter blade its very easy to do long very straight cuts. That cut would have taken maybe a minute and a half possibly two minutes at most. I've done it, rigging, cables, rubrail, etc. all still in boat and it cut right through everything like butter lol.
(editors note- this was not Cardshark)

You can get the switch panels from jay, he probably knows who made the throttles. Give him a call 727-773-5603 he has my boat right now, putting new through bolted rub rail on it and replacing the through hull hyd fittings for the trim cylinders.
When I got my panels from him I didn't think they would fit because of the curve, but they were perfect.
