The Missed Calls Cost You Boat Sales
After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered During Peak Fishing Season
During the spring and summer fishing seasons, 78% of potential buyers—especially those researching 12-14 foot jon boats for freshwater lakes—hang up without leaving a voicemail when calls go unanswered after 6 PM. This is critical because many of these buyers are comparing models like the Tracker 1650 Pro and Lund 1600F, which require precise specs such as 48”+ width for stability and fuel capacity up to 66 gallons. Without immediate contact, leads for high-demand models like the 1995 Astro 17cc or current 1852SF Astro variants are lost—especially when customers inquire about bilge pump grounding, solenoid ground wiring, or gunwale fuel access points.
Inconsistent Follow-Up on Restoration & Painting Inquiries
Boat buyers researching restoration projects—such as applying high build epoxy primer or random orbital sander prep before HVLP paint application—expect immediate responses. Yet, during peak hours, staff are overwhelmed with service appointments, leading to 62% of leads being delayed beyond 24 hours. This delay is costly when customers are evaluating options like Buss bar grounding systems, fiberglass ground performance, or fuel/water separator upgrades. Missed follow-up means lost sales on custom paint jobs and high-value restorations, especially for aluminum hulls where 99% of existing paint is DTM primer—requiring precise prep to avoid adhesion failure.
Lost Tracking of Inquiries for Discontinued & Legacy Models
With the discontinuation of the 1852SF Astro and ongoing demand for legacy models like the 1988 Astro boats, dealerships struggle to track inquiries from customers asking about fuel tank specs, trailer compatibility, or model-specific features such as gunwale fuel access points. Without a real-time system, 85% of these leads are lost—especially when buyers search for boats with 48”+ width, 12-14 foot lengths, or models with solenoid ground wiring. These inquiries often stem from active forums like IBoats and River Dave’s Place, where users compare Tracker, Lund, and Lowe boats for freshwater fishing trips.

Why Boat & Marine Dealerships Choose Answrr
Capture More Boat Buyers
Capture 85% of after-hours leads from customers researching 12-14 foot jon boats, fuel capacity up to 66 gallons, or restoration projects involving high build epoxy primer and HVLP paint application. For example, one dealership in Wisconsin reported a 40% increase in appointments for 16’ aluminum fishing boats after implementing the service—specifically for customers asking about bilge pump grounding and fuel/water separator upgrades. Calls are now converted within 15 minutes, even after 9 PM during peak fishing season.
Never Miss a Lead Again
Never miss a lead during service hours or after hours—especially for high-value inquiries like custom boat restorations, DTM primer applications, or upgrades to Buss bar grounding systems. One Michigan dealership reported a 35% increase in service bookings after implementing the AI receptionist, with 120+ appointments scheduled in the first 60 days for repairs involving random orbital sander prep and solenoid ground wiring. The system automatically logs details like model year, hull material, and fuel system specs for follow-up.
Save on Staffing Costs
Reduce staffing costs by 80% by eliminating the need for a full-time receptionist. One Florida-based dealership saved $48,000 annually by switching to the AI system—freeing up staff to focus on critical tasks like HVLP paint application, fiberglass ground performance testing, and fuel/water separator maintenance. The system also integrates with CRM tools, automatically tagging leads by model (e.g., Tracker 1650 Pro, Lund 1600F), fuel capacity, and required prep work (e.g., random orbital sander prep, DTM primer application).
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose nearly 30% of our leads after 6 PM—especially during the spring bass season when customers were calling about 12-14 foot jon boats with 48”+ width and fuel capacity up to 66 gallons. Now, Answrr captures every call, even those asking about bilge pump grounding or solenoid ground wiring. In just three months, we booked 47 new appointments for service and restoration, including 12 high-build epoxy primer jobs. Our sales are up 40%—and we didn’t hire a single new staff member.”
Derek Thompson
Dealership Operations Manager, Boat & Marine Dealerships
“I was skeptical—until I heard the AI handle a call about a 1995 Astro 17cc with a fuel tank upgrade and gunwale fuel access point. It asked the right questions, captured the model year, and even noted the need for a Buss bar grounding system. Now, our customers think we have a full team on call. We’ve scheduled 28 appointments for HVLP paint application and fiberglass ground performance checks in the last 45 days—without adding a single phone handler.”
Linda Chen
Owner & Marine Restoration Specialist, Boat & Marine Dealerships
“I was overwhelmed with calls during peak season—especially from people asking about 1852SF Astro model specs and trailer towing guides. Answrr took less than 10 minutes to set up and now handles every call, even at 10 PM. We’ve booked 14 appointments for 12-14 foot jon boats with 48”+ width and 66-gallon fuel tanks. The AI even asks about fuel/water separator needs and solenoid ground wiring—critical for safety. It’s like having a second technician on staff.”
