We had it done to a 27 Ultimate Warlock. It changed the boat completely from a usable perspective. I'd do it in a heartbeat. It was 6k to have it done.

West Coast Marine Interiors in Perris did allot of open bow conversions. They did my Hallett Vector prior to me buying it.
Their web site is all in Spanish now so I am thinking "new owner". They used to have a huge gallery of boats they had cut to open bows.

In 2016 the cost was $4500, so who knows the cost now. ARKO did mine, but I guess they are gone now. I've heard Bill is still around but don't know if he is still doing conversions or not.

Try Barron. I heard something about Martinez leaving boats uncovered outside for extended periods. dirt, dust, rain. My guess would be $10k easy

I pass by the shop all the time, I can say, I have seen some pretty nice boats that looked dusty without covers on them...

I wouldn't doubt it, as I drive by Martinez 5 days a week. Their yard is full and shop is small. It hurts to see such nice boats uncovered outside.

You have any pictures of your warlock? I'm working on my 27WC.

Let’s trade! 230 eagle wtob
I'd like to stay hallett, IMO, the 210 is the best in the 21'r class.... and I don' t think that the open bow is worth any more than the closed... the right buyer wants one or the other only,.... the one I have is pretty nice and I was thinking putting a new updated interior, wife wants an open bow for the grand kids.... but, we also have 2 nice pontoons,.. i'd like to get rid of one or both pontoons,... but one belongs to my wife and I would have to buy someting that she thinks is better.... so far, we haven't taken any to the lake this year... maybe I'm done with boating.... lake mead sucks right now as far as ramps go so we haven't been there at all...and havasu seems to be too crowded for me so we haven't been on the water there either.. lot of work, my go to is the bar drinking beer and gambling... were taking the rv and rzr's to coral pink dunes monday...and been doing a lot of jeeping... so maybe if I could find a nice open bow, no more than we use a boat I could get away with just having one boat...

😂😂😂 so far I’m real happy with it. I haven’t noticed anything negative performance wise and the extra room is nice. If you’re going to I highly recommend Rene. His work is top notch.
