The High Cost of Missed Calls

9% YoY Decline in Powerboat Retail Unit Sales & 19.5% Drop in Pontoons Demand

Boat & marine dealerships are navigating a challenging market: new powerboat retail unit sales declined by 9% year-over-year from January to April 2025, according to the NMMA Monthly Data Summary. Pontoons sales dropped 19.5%, while jet boats and wake sport boats saw declines of 19.9% and 14.3%, respectively. With consumer confidence (CCI) fluctuating and inventory turn slowing, every unanswered call during peak season—especially for high-demand models like freshwater fishing boats or personal watercraft (PWC)—means lost revenue and extended holding periods. Dealerships now face 30–45-day longer sell times, increasing storage costs and straining working capital.

Real Results from Real Businesses

“We were losing nearly 1 in 4 pontoon leads after 5 PM—especially during spring launch season. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve booked 31% more appointments from after-hours callers, including several high-value yachts and personal watercraft inquiries. One lead from a weekend call in March turned into a $128,000 wake sport boat sale after the AI remembered their preference for twin-engine models and scheduled a Friday test drive.”
