The Boat Dealership Challenge
Missed Calls from High-Intent Buyers Researching Jon Boats and Fishing Packages
Boat buyers spend 3–5 hours researching online before calling—often comparing aluminum hull jon boats with trolling motors, USCG horsepower ratings, and deck layouts. Yet only 35% of calls are answered within the first 3 rings. If a buyer reaches voicemail, 78% won’t leave a message, and 67% abandon the purchase entirely. For example, a customer researching a 16’ aluminum hull fishing boat with a 20 HP outboard motor and fish finder may never return after missing a single call during their decision window.
After-Hours Leads Lost During Peak Research Hours (10 PM – 2 AM)
Many serious boat buyers call after hours—especially during weekend evenings—when they’re reviewing transom configurations, boat trailer compatibility, and bilge pump options. With an average response time of 2.4 hours, these leads are lost before the dealership even responds. A customer researching a 22’ pontoon with a dual trolling motor setup and deck layout customization may have already moved on to a competitor by the time the sales team checks messages the next morning.
Sales Reps Interrupted During On-Water Demonstrations of Outboard Motor Performance
When a sales rep is showing a new 90 HP outboard motor on a lake, they can’t answer the phone—yet a caller may be asking about warranty coverage on a used boat with a 40 HP trolling motor or compatibility with a 5,000 lb boat trailer. This interruption not only breaks the customer experience but damages trust. In one case, a potential buyer inquired about a 14’ jon boat with a transom-mounted fish finder and was disconnected after 3 rings—leading to a lost $12,000 sale.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing nearly 40% of after-hours leads—especially from buyers researching 16’ aluminum hull jon boats with 15 HP trolling motors. Since switching to Answrr, we’ve booked 18 new appointments in just 10 days from after-hours inquiries. Our sales team now focuses on showings, not answering phones. One lead even purchased a 20’ pontoon with a dual trolling motor setup after the AI captured their interest at 11:30 PM.”
