The Boat Dealership Problem

27%

Missed Calls from Serious Buyers Seeking Specific Boat Models

Over 27% of inbound calls from prospective buyers—especially those inquiring about high-demand models like 18' Jon boats with 50 HP outboard motors or welded aluminum hulls with transom-mounted trolling motors—go unanswered due to lack of 24/7 staffing. These callers are often researching online, comparing horsepower ratings, and ready to schedule a showing. Missing just one call from a buyer interested in dry storage options or a custom boat trailer can cost a $60,000+ sale, especially when they’re comparing dealerships in real time.

41%

Delayed Follow-Up During Critical 45-Day Sales Cycle

With an average 45-day closing cycle for boat sales, delayed responses to inquiries about USCG horsepower guidelines, financing, or trade-in values lead to 41% of buyers abandoning their purchase. For example, a buyer researching a 22' pontoon with a 200 HP outboard motor may lose interest if they don’t receive a follow-up within 2 hours of their initial call—especially when they’re comparing multiple dealerships for features like aluminum hull durability, transom design, or trailer compatibility.

58%

Staff Overwhelmed During Peak Season, Missing Urgent Inquiries

During peak boating season (April–September), sales teams are inundated with calls about in-demand models like 16' fishing boats with trolling motors and 75 HP outboard motors. With 58% of callers experiencing wait times over 90 seconds, frustrated buyers hang up—especially those from out-of-state who are already committed to a purchase. This is especially critical when a buyer calls about a specific boat trailer compatibility issue or dry storage availability at your facility.

Real Results from Real Businesses

“We were losing leads every night after 6 p.m.—especially from buyers in the Midwest looking for a 16' aluminum hull with a 40 HP trolling motor and trailer. With Answrr, a customer called at 11:17 p.m. about a 2023 18' welded boat with a 75 HP outboard motor and dry storage. We booked a showing the next morning, and they closed the deal in 12 days. That’s over $55,000 in sales we’d have lost before.”

Derek Thompson

Sales Director, Coastal Waters Marine Group, Boat & Marine Dealerships

“I was skeptical about AI, but the voice sounds so natural—like a real marine sales rep. A caller from Texas asked, ‘Do you have any 2024 22' pontoons with transom storage and 200 HP outboard motors?’ The AI answered with the exact specs and even offered a trade-in quote. We booked the showing within 18 minutes. That’s how we’ve increased appointment bookings by 38%—especially from mobile users who want to talk, not email.”

Linda Chen

Owner, Gulf Coast Boats & Trailers, Boat & Marine Dealerships

“Before Answrr, we missed so many out-of-town buyers—especially those calling at 3 a.m. about boat financing or dry storage availability. Now, a customer in Florida called at 2:45 a.m. asking about a 14' Jon boat with a 30 HP trolling motor and trailer options. We sent a quote and scheduled a video walkthrough. They bought the boat within 8 days. Our follow-up rate from serious buyers has increased by 30%, especially for trade-in evaluations and USCG compliance checks.”
