Depending how bad the bow is, you can dress it out of the frets (they may be too small for this) or defret, plane the board and refret. The latter option would still be cheaper than a new neck and you'd maintain the originality.
I always like to understand what range of skills someone has got: are they able to build acoustics from scratch (unusual), repair an acoustic with damage to the soundbox? strictly electrics? can they refret? can they replace or repair fingerboards, etc.
I say this because someone could recommend a replacement neck because they don't know who to repair the faults in one.
As the experts here have advised, I'd think that unless the neck is broken, or has back-bow, you'd normally think a repair was the best option.
A new neck would need a lot of bench time to fit and setup correctly too
