ARKO Interior does it again!!
 

I just had my Hallett 270 converted to an open bow by Bill Sturgis of ARKO Upholstery in Lake Havasu. We had the open bow done, all carpet, cabin couches rear deck and seat cushions, bow cover and many more small interior items. The Gel coat was repaired as well. The work is unbelievably good. I would highly recommend him. His number is 801-360-0658.

Looks great and from the pictures it looks like it came from Hallett that way.The boat I have now is my first open bow and I bought it because it was such a good deal and had the motors and drives I wanted but was reluctant due to the open bow but we love it and I found that we now use the room and we never used the V berth other that storage and it all fell out when we hit rough water.It took a bit to get used to seeing people in front of me and I still will not go over 50mph with people in it but I am not sorry I bought it.

I have had several open bow mid cabin boats. When I found this Hallett it was in great shape with an engine that I wanted but we really wanted the open bow. Bill at ARKO did the interiors and open bows for Hallett for years. That is why I chose him as I wanted it to be at least as good as the factory installation. We could not be happier with it.

Looks really good. ARKO does some really good work and I will have him do mine (Hallett 300) in the next couple years too.

Is this the same Arko that was located in Woodland Hills for many years? They were well known in LA for years if the same people.

The same people. Moved from LA to Salt Lake to Havasu.

Yep. They have done most if not all Hallets interiors for many many years.

How does that work with the Hallett Factory in Irwindale and them in Havasu or Utah???

They just trailer them back and forth is my understanding. Cheaper than having full time staff at the factory. And they do excellent work.
