The Missed Boat Inquiries Cost You Sales
After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered During Peak Season — Losing 62% of Buyers Who Call After 7 PM
With 62% of boat buyers preferring 24/7 availability, your dealership misses critical leads when customers call after hours—especially during spring and summer boating season. For example, a customer researching a 20-foot center console with a transom-mounted outboard motor at 9:30 PM may never return if they leave a voicemail. Since 78% of customers won’t leave voicemails, these leads vanish. This is especially costly when inquiries involve high-ticket items like dry stack trailers, live wells, or hull material upgrades (e.g., aluminum vs. fiberglass), which require immediate follow-up to maintain buyer momentum.
Staff Overwhelmed During Boating Season — 40% of Inquiries Lost Due to Delayed Responses
During peak season, your sales team is inundated with calls about specific configurations—such as a 14' jon boat with a 50HP trolling motor, bow anchor roller, and deck layout customization. With 85% of buyers using mobile devices to research, many call during lunch breaks or after work. When your team can’t answer in under 30 seconds, 40% of leads are lost. This delays the average 45–60-day sales cycle and causes buyers to drift to competitors with faster response times.
Inconsistent Lead Qualification — Missing Follow-Ups on Key Features Like Bilge Pumps and Transom Modifications
Without a system to track customer preferences, you risk losing qualified buyers who specifically asked about features like a dual bilge pump setup, dry stack trailer compatibility, or a custom transom cutout for an outboard motor. For instance, a buyer researching a 16' bass boat with a live well and trolling motor may never be contacted again if their interest isn’t logged. This results in 35% of high-intent leads slipping through the cracks, especially when they’re comparing hull materials or deck layouts across multiple dealerships.

Why Boat & Marine Dealerships Choose Answrr
Book Appointments While You Sleep
Your AI agent checks real-time availability across your inventory and books test drives for a 22' fishing boat with a transom-mounted 150HP outboard motor—complete with live well and bow anchor roller—directly into your calendar.

This eliminates 3+ days of back-and-forth, reducing the average sales cycle from 60 to 42 days and increasing conversion by 27%.

Whether it’s a first-time buyer asking about hull material durability or a seasoned boater inquiring about a trolling motor upgrade, your AI receptionist answers 24/7 with industry-specific knowledge. It can explain the pros of a fiberglass hull versus aluminum, recommend a 12V bilge pump for a 14' jon boat, or guide a customer through trailer compatibility with a dry stack system. This ensures no lead is lost, even at midnight, directly supporting the 62% of buyers who expect 24/7 availability.
No More Missed Sales from Voicemail
When Marcus calls again about a 14' jon boat with a 30HP trolling motor and live well, the AI agent greets him by name, recalls his previous inquiry about a bow anchor roller, and confirms he’s still interested in a dry stack trailer. It logs the request and sends a follow-up email with a custom quote and inventory photo of the exact model. This personalized, persistent follow-up ensures no buyer is lost to delayed response—directly addressing the 40% of inquiries lost due to slow replies.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose nearly half our leads after 7 PM—especially during the Memorial Day weekend rush. Now, Answrr answers every call, books appointments for boats with specific deck layouts or transom modifications, and remembers every customer’s preferences. One buyer who called at 11 PM about a 16' aluminum jon boat with a live well and trolling motor was contacted within 15 minutes. He bought the boat three days later. Our close rate is up 27%, and we’ve even added a second sales rep because we’re handling more leads than ever.”

“As a new owner of a family-run dealership specializing in fishing boats and trailers, I was drowning in calls about hull materials, bilge pumps, and dry stack trailer compatibility. Answrr handles everything—financing questions, outboard motor specs, even scheduling service appointments for transom repairs. I’ve cut my response time from 2 hours to under 5 minutes, and my customer satisfaction scores have jumped from 3.8 to 4.9 on average.”
Lena Patel
Owner, Patel’s Waterfront Outfitters, Boat & Marine Dealerships
“Our service department was overwhelmed with after-hours calls about bilge pump failures and live well maintenance. Now, Answrr answers 24/7, books service appointments, and even reminds customers about their last repair—like when we replaced the transom seal on their 18' center console. Customers love it. One even left a 5-star review saying, 'I called at 10 PM about a leaking bilge pump, and they had a tech scheduled by 8 AM the next day.' Our service retention is up 31%.”
