Short answer. An owner-run boat dealership has four jobs a tool can touch: boat listings, buyer leads, service and parts jobs, and posts that bring buyers in. On the pages we read, only one tool lists an AI feature built for boat stock (BrokerForBoat, with a connector to Claude or ChatGPT). The dealer management systems, HelmDMS, DealershipSoft and EverLogic, describe no AI on the pages we read, and Boatyard's AI mention is for inspection reports. The eight are alphabetical, not scored.
How we chose
The vendor's own page describes boats, marine dealers or hull tracking, or it is a general tool an owner could use. Prices are as each vendor shows them on its own pages, read on 7 Nov 2026 between 22:33 and 22:50 UTC, with the billing term the page gives. Each link goes to the vendor's home page. We read pages and ran none of these tools except Wanna.
The eight
| Tool | What it does | Price, read 7 Nov 2026 | Honest minus |
|---|---|---|---|
| BrokerForBoat | Boat inventory and buyer leads: lead inbox, CRM, website and portal syncing, a connector so Claude or ChatGPT can create boat drafts and draft client replies | Starter 19 euros a month, up to 10 boats, 1 user. Pro 49, up to 40 boats, 3 users, with the connector. Enterprise 99, up to 100 boats. Excluding VAT. 15-day trial, no card | The connector is on Pro and Enterprise only, and its ChatGPT directory listing is "under review". Starter has a lead inbox, not a full CRM. A 100-boat cap is small for a large lot |
| Boatyard | Marine service software and boat sales: work orders, inspections, forms and contracts, reminders | Its two pricing pages disagree. One shows Starter from 199 a month with 3 users and Grow from 399. The other shows Starter 195 with 2 users and Grow 595. Enterprise is custom | We could not tell which page is current, so ask them. Built for service first, and add-ons such as parts management are priced apart |
| Buffer | Schedules posts across social channels, with an AI Assistant for drafts | Free: 3 channels, 10 queued posts each. Essentials 5 a month per channel billed yearly, or 6 billed monthly. Team 10 yearly, or 12 monthly. 14-day trial on paid plans | A posting tool, not a boat or lead tool. It does not know your stock |
| DealershipSoft | Dealer management: tracks hull, motor and trailer by serial or HIN and sells them as one package on one invoice, service jobs, parts stock, listings syndication | Gold 279 a month billed yearly, 299 monthly. Platinum 349 yearly, 399 monthly. One user included, each extra user 20 a month. No setup fee. 14-day trial, no card | Its pricing page labels the figures USD but a footnote says AUD, so confirm the currency. Its older marine page still says "From $89 per month". No AI described |
| EverLogic | Marine dealership management: hull ID and engine tracking, service calendar with technicians, QuickBooks link | Core Desktop 139 a month per license on one part of its page, 129 in its FAQ. Three-license minimum. Mobile 39 a month per license. No annual contract | Its own page gives two prices and a three-license minimum. No AI described |
| HelmDMS | Marine dealer CRM: lead-to-hull tracking, sales pipeline, text, email and voice follow-up, sales and service on one customer record | 499 a month, a launch price for the first 25 dealers. Founding slot takes a 200 refundable deposit | No free trial, only a 25-minute demo. The page does not say if its follow-up uses AI, or what limits apply |
| SaleHull | Boat storefront: listing grid and a shareable link per boat | From 29 a month for up to 10 active listings, up to 249 by listings. The middle tiers are not shown on the page we read | A storefront only: no CRM, no checkout, no DMS link |
| Wanna | Reads your site, proposes the week's marketing tasks, drafts posts, ads and letters; posts and ads wait for your OK | Smart 10 a month, Sharp 20, Genius 50, each for 1 company; Scale 150 for up to 5 companies. Model work runs on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan | No free plan. Early: 5 customer companies on the live page, 7 Nov 2026. Not dealer software: no boat inventory, no lead inbox, no service jobs |
By job
Boat listings and stock: BrokerForBoat, SaleHull, and the three management systems, which track each hull by serial. Buyer leads: BrokerForBoat, HelmDMS. Service and parts jobs: Boatyard, DealershipSoft, EverLogic. A connector so your own AI works inside the stock list: BrokerForBoat. Posts on a schedule: Buffer. The next marketing task, picked and drafted for your OK: Wanna. Related: local service businesses, which also sell to people nearby.
What Wanna is and is not
Wanna drafts. Posts and ads wait for your OK, and sending letters is off until you turn it on (Trust). On the live page at 22:33 UTC on 7 Nov 2026: 5 customer companies counted together. We have no boat dealer results to show, and Wanna does not hold your inventory, answer buyer leads or run your service department.
What this list does not replace
It does not replace your own demo: we read pages, not products. It does not replace your dealer management system, your floor plan lender, your title and registration paperwork, or your state's dealer licensing and advertising rules. We checked no tool against those rules. See the limits of a self-running company.
FAQ
What are the best AI tools for boat dealers? We do not rank them. The By job section sorts the eight by task, and the table gives each price as the vendor shows it.
Is there AI software that manages boat inventory and buyer leads? BrokerForBoat lists a connector that lets Claude or ChatGPT create boat drafts and draft replies, on Pro at 49 euros a month. We ran none of them.
How much does boat dealer software cost? On the pages we read, from 19 euros a month (BrokerForBoat Starter, 10 boats) to 499 a month (HelmDMS), and Boatyard's two pages show different numbers.
Can AI write posts for my boat dealership? Buffer has an AI Assistant for drafts on every plan, including Free. Wanna drafts posts from your site for your OK. Read each one before it goes out.
Is Wanna boat dealer software? No. It helps an owner choose and draft the next marketing task. It is our product, so its minuses are in the table.
