The Missed Boat & Marine Leads Cost Thousands
After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered – 27% of Prospects Lost Per Week
On average, 27% of after-hours calls from potential buyers seeking 14' aluminum boats with 15" transom compatibility and 9.9hp to 20hp outboard motor recommendations go unanswered. Many callers, especially weekend shoppers looking for lightweight 2-stroke or 4-stroke motors, never return—especially when they’re comparing Tracker, Lund, and Lowe models. Without immediate response, leads often turn to competitors offering instant quotes and same-day appointment scheduling.
Delayed Follow-Ups on Critical Boat Specs – 62% of Inquiries Unanswered Within 24 Hours
Sales teams are overwhelmed by high call volumes, particularly during peak seasons. Common questions about transom strength for 15" transom boats, 48" width stability for family use, and compatibility with trolling motors (like Minn Kota or MotorGuide) often go unanswered for over 24 hours. This delay causes buyers to lose confidence—especially when comparing new 14' jon boats with trailers to used models, where pricing and condition are critical decision factors.
New Boaters Confused by Model Comparisons – 85% Delay Purchase Decisions
First-time buyers struggle to differentiate between popular 14' aluminum boat brands like Tracker, Lund, and Lowe. They’re unsure whether to invest in a new boat with a 48" width for enhanced stability or settle for a used model with questionable transom integrity. Questions about 2-stroke vs 4-stroke motor weight, USCG horsepower rating compliance, and trailer compatibility (e.g., 15" transom with 15hp outboard) remain unanswered, causing 85% of buyers to delay decisions for weeks—or worse, abandon the purchase entirely.

Why Boat & Marine Dealerships Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Our AI phone agent captures every call 24/7—answering after-hours inquiries about 14' aluminum boats with 15" transom, 48" width stability, and USCG-compliant horsepower ratings. For example, a caller searching for a lightweight 9.9hp Tohatsu or Nissan 4-stroke motor for a 14' jon boat with trailer receives an instant response with specs, weight, and compatibility details—reducing lead loss by 85% and converting 30% more after-hours callers into appointments.
Book Appointments in Real Time
The AI instantly books showings and consultations via Calendly, syncing with your dealership’s schedule. For example, a caller asking about a 14' aluminum boat with a 15" transom and 48" width for fishing trips can be scheduled for a same-day test drive—no back-and-forth. Since implementation, dealerships have seen a 40% increase in appointment conversion, with 72% of booked appointments being fulfilled within 48 hours.
Build Trust with Natural Conversations
Rime Arcana’s voice technology delivers natural, conversational responses—so callers believe they’re speaking with a real sales rep. The AI references USCG horsepower rating guidelines, confirms transom strength for 15" transom boats, and recommends 9.9hp to 20hp motors based on boat weight and intended use. For example, it advises against using a 20hp 2-stroke motor on a light-weight 14' jon boat without a reinforced transom, preventing buyer regret and liability.
Real Results from Real Businesses

Now, our AI agent answers every call, even at 10 PM, and helps buyers choose between a 9.9hp Tohatsu or 15hp Nissan 4-stroke motor based on USCG guidelines. Since deploying the AI, we’ve converted 27% more leads into sales—especially from first-time buyers comparing Tracker vs Lund models.”
Derek Thompson
Dealership Owner & Operations Manager, Boat & Marine Dealerships
“Before the AI, we were missing 60% of calls about transom strength and motor weight. Now, when a customer asks, 'Can I use a 20hp 2-stroke motor on my 14' jon boat with a 15" transom?', the AI instantly checks USCG guidelines and says, 'Only if the transom is reinforced—otherwise, stick to 9.9hp to 15hp.' This has reduced buyer confusion by 75% and increased appointment bookings by 40%. We’re now closing more deals on new 14' aluminum boats with trailers.”
Linda Chen
Sales Director, Boat & Marine Dealerships

That’s the level of realism we’ve achieved.”
