The Boat Buyers Are Calling—But You're Not Answering
Missed Calls During Peak Boating Season: Losing 40% of Jon Boat and Trailer Inquiries
During peak boating season (March–October), dealerships receive a surge in calls from customers researching 12–16 ft aluminum hull jon boats with trolling motors and 15–25 HP outboard motors. With staff overwhelmed, 40% of these high-intent inquiries—especially from buyers searching for 'USCG horsepower guidelines compliance' or 'stability rating for shallow water use'—are missed. These leads often go straight to competitors offering same-day responses, resulting in lost sales on boats priced between $4,000–$12,000.
After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered: Missing 2 a.m. Inquiries About Outboard Motor Installation
Boat buyers frequently research on mobile devices at night, calling dealerships at 1:30 a.m. to ask about outboard motor compatibility with their boat’s transom, dry weight limits, or proper horsepower rating for their 14-foot aluminum hull. With no one available, these calls go unanswered. Given that 85% of buyers use mobile devices during research and 60% consider responsiveness a key decision factor, this gap costs dealerships critical early-stage leads—especially for high-ticket items like 40 HP outboard motors or custom boat trailers.
Inconsistent Customer Experience: Confusing Buyers on Trolling Motor vs. Outboard Motor Installations
Without a centralized system, staff provide inconsistent answers when customers call about technical specs—such as whether a 30 lb thrust trolling motor will fit their transom or if a 20 HP outboard exceeds USCG horsepower guidelines for a 16 ft boat. This confusion frustrates 55% of buyers who prefer speaking with a salesperson directly. Inconsistent messaging leads to lost trust, especially when customers compare responses across multiple calls or follow-ups.

The AI uses industry-specific language—like 'your 14 ft jon boat has a 1,200 lb dry weight, so a 20 HP outboard is within USCG guidelines'—and confidently answers questions about transom mounting, stability rating, and trailer compatibility.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose 40% of our leads during peak season—especially from buyers calling at 2 a.m. about 12 ft aluminum hull jon boats with trolling motors. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve captured every inquiry, even those about USCG horsepower guidelines and dry weight limits. One caller asked about a 30 lb thrust trolling motor for his transom, and the AI gave a detailed response that matched our tech specs. He booked a test drive the same day and bought a 2024 16 ft boat with a 25 HP outboard motor. That’s $11,200 in revenue from a single missed call that would’ve been lost before.”
Derek Thompson
Dealership Operations Manager, Boat & Marine Dealerships
“I was skeptical—until I heard the AI answer a call about installing a 40 HP outboard on a 14 ft boat with a 2,200 lb dry weight. It referenced the USCG horsepower guidelines, confirmed the transom could handle it, and even asked if they wanted a trailer with a 3,000 lb capacity. The customer was impressed and said, 'This sounds like a real expert.' We’ve seen a 28% increase in appointment conversions since implementation.”
Linda Chen
Sales Director, Boat & Marine Dealerships
“I thought AI would sound robotic—until I heard it handle a call about a 15 ft jon boat with a 36V trolling motor and a 20 HP outboard. It asked the right questions: 'Is your transom reinforced for a 20 HP motor?' and 'Do you need a trailer with a 2,800 lb capacity?' The customer said, 'You know your stuff.' We closed the deal in 11 days—down from the usual 18. Now, every call feels like a personal conversation, even at midnight.”
