What would you do?

So the '79 DS2 that I got back in April has the wrong size boom. I assume. Both the mail and jib sails were wrong as well. I made them work for the first season and had some fun learning. Fast forward to today. I ordered a set of new sails. The jib is perfect. The main doesn't fit. so I get out the tape and find out my boom is 8'. So my new sail is 2 feet to long. So my question is this. Would you buy a new or used boom of the proper length? Or have the new sail cut down? If that can be done. Or have a sail made the fit the boom that I have? Now keep in mind that I am just learning to sail. So I don't need a lot of speed or need optimum performance at this point yet.
