Know which boat painting leads are worth inspection time
Ask which surfaces need painting, how damaged the current gelcoat is, and where the boat is stored, then route only vessels with confirmed owner approval to your CRM.
The exact intake your boat painting leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Boat Painting — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified boat painting lead should tell you
Exterior or interior painting and refinishing of a boat's hull, deck, or trim, typically triggered by gelcoat damage, fading, or a full cosmetic restoration.

The questions your team needs answered
Every boat painting intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of boat needs painting? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| What is the approximate length of the boat in feet? | Captures the detail in the customer’s own words so you’re briefed before the first call. |
| Which areas need painting? | Selecting hull, deck, or interior surfaces signals a larger repaint job worth more shop time than a trim-only touch-up. |
| Is the current paint or gelcoat significantly damaged, cracked, or peeling? | Significant gelcoat cracking or peeling indicates the vessel needs prep and repair work, not just a cosmetic coat, before painting can start. |
| Where is the boat currently located for this project? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Are you the owner or authorized to approve this painting work? | Confirming the requester can approve the work prevents yard time from being scheduled on the say of someone without authority to sign off. |
| When would you like the painting project to start? | A start timeline of 'as soon as possible' versus 'just exploring options' tells you which leads to book now and which to nurture. |

Built for boat painting workflows
| Cliont capability | Boat Painting application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring engine | Assigns higher scores to leads selecting hull, deck, or interior surfaces and to reports of cracked or peeling gelcoat, surfacing bigger repaint jobs first. |
| Photo and video capture widget | Collects close-up shots of hull and deck condition so your team can gauge prep work needed before quoting or scheduling yard time. |
| CRM routing | Sends only leads with confirmed ownership authorization and a defined start timeline into your CRM, keeping unverified inquiries out of the active pipeline. |
| Conditional logic | Uses the boat location answer to flag jobs that need haul-out coordination separately from vessels already in dry storage or on private property. |
Common boat painting lead scenarios
Full hull repaint after gelcoat failure
Owner reports cracked, peeling gelcoat across the hull and wants a full repaint, which the intake flags as high-value based on the areas-needing-paint and damage-condition answers.
Multi-surface job on a yacht
Hull, deck, and trim all need work on a larger vessel, stacking several high-weight area selections into a lead worth prioritizing over single-surface requests.
Boat still at the marina
The vessel hasn't been hauled yet, so the location question tells your team whether a haul-out needs to be coordinated before yard time is scheduled.
Manager inquiring, not the owner
A dock manager or family member submits the request but can't confirm authorization to approve the work, which the intake scores lower until ownership is verified.
Just comparing paint options
Someone selects 'just exploring options' for timeline with no visible damage yet, signaling a lead to nurture rather than one to book onto the schedule immediately.

Boat Painting lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake ask for boat size, or just type?
It asks for both: boat type (powerboat, sailboat, pontoon, yacht) and approximate length in feet, so your team can estimate material and labor before booking a haul-out slot.
How does the intake handle a lead who isn't sure which areas need paint?
The areas-to-paint question includes a 'Not sure' option, which still carries scoring weight so vague-but-real leads aren't filtered out before an inspection can clarify scope.
Why does the intake ask where the boat is currently located?
Whether the vessel is at a marina, in dry storage, or on private property affects whether a haul-out or on-site setup is needed before you commit yard time.
Can this catch requests from someone who isn't authorized to approve the work?
Yes. The ownership/authorization question carries a low weight on a 'no' answer, so leads without confirmed approval to spend money surface lower in your queue.
How is this different from the gelcoat restoration intake?
Boat painting covers full repaints of hull, deck, interior, and trim surfaces, while gelcoat restoration focuses on repairing and polishing the existing gelcoat layer rather than repainting it.
Does the intake distinguish urgent jobs from browsing inquiries?
The start-timeline question separates 'as soon as possible' requests from 'just exploring options,' so you can see project readiness alongside the damage and scope answers.
