Know which classic restorations are worth inspection time
Ask every inquiry about hull material, current condition, and which areas need work, then let Cliont confirm ownership, access, and timeline before you commit yard space to the wrong vessel.
The exact intake your classic boat restoration leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Classic Boat Restoration — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified classic boat restoration lead should tell you
Restoration work for classic or vintage boats covering hull, woodwork, and finish, scoped around the vessel's material, current condition, and which specific areas need attention.
- Material Boat'S Hull Primarily
- Current Condition Boat
- Have Physical Access Boat
- Owner Or Authorized Make
- Areas Restoration Work
- Would Like Restoration Work
The questions your team needs answered
Every classic boat restoration intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What material is the boat's hull primarily made of? | Hull material (wood versus fiberglass versus metal) drives which crew and materials are needed, so it shapes whether the lead fits your shop's capabilities before it's scheduled. |
| What is the current condition of the boat? | The condition tier carries the catalog's highest weights, distinguishing a light cosmetic job from a full teardown so scope and crew time can be estimated ahead of the inspection. |
| Do you currently have physical access to the boat for inspection? | Confirming physical access to the boat avoids booking yard time for a vessel your team can't actually get to yet. |
| Are you the owner or authorized to make decisions about this boat's restoration? | This question's high weight separates leads from the actual owner or decision-maker from inquiries made on someone else's behalf, where nothing can move forward until the real owner is involved. |
| Which areas need restoration work? | Knowing which specific areas, hull, woodwork, upholstery, or hardware, need work lets your team gauge the full scope of the restoration before quoting or scheduling. |
| When would you like the restoration work to begin? | A start date of 'immediately' is the catalog's defined urgency signal, helping you prioritize leads ready to move now over those still just exploring options. |

Built for classic boat restoration workflows
| Cliont capability | Classic Boat Restoration application |
|---|---|
| Weighted answer scoring | Condition answers from 'mostly cosmetic wear' up to 'not seaworthy or largely disassembled' each carry their own weight, so a rougher boat doesn't automatically outrank a cleaner one, unless access and ownership also check out. |
| Gating on decision authority | The ownership/authorization question is weighted heavily enough that inquiries from non-decision-makers are visibly separated from bookable leads before you spend inspection time. |
| Access confirmation | The yes/no question on physical access to the boat lets you filter out leads where the vessel itself isn't yet reachable for inspection. |
| Multi-select scope capture | The restoration-areas question lets a lead flag exterior finish, woodwork, hull structure, upholstery, and hardware together, giving your team a scope snapshot before scheduling yard time. |
Common classic boat restoration lead scenarios
Cosmetic refresh on owned boat
Owner with direct access wants a wood-hull classic brought back with mostly cosmetic wear addressed immediately; the intake flags this as a fast, high-confidence booking.
Full teardown restoration
A largely disassembled or non-seaworthy hull with extensive deterioration signals a bigger scope; the intake surfaces which areas (hull structure, woodwork, hardware) need work so you can staff the project correctly.
Inquiry from a non-owner
Someone asking on behalf of a relative or partner without decision authority scores lower on ownership, prompting a follow-up to confirm who actually approves the work before yard time is booked.
Boat not yet accessible
An owner who hasn't yet secured physical access to the boat for inspection is flagged so you can hold off scheduling until the vessel can actually be seen.
Exploratory, no start date set
A lead selecting 'just exploring options' with uncertain hull material and unclear damage extent is routed as a lower-urgency lead for nurturing rather than immediate scheduling.

Classic Boat Restoration lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle a customer who isn't sure what their hull is made of?
The hull material question includes a 'Not sure' option so the lead still moves forward; your team can confirm material during the inspection rather than losing the lead over an unanswered field.
Does the intake check whether the person filling it out actually owns the boat?
Yes, the catalog includes a direct yes/no question on ownership or decision-making authority, which carries a high weight so unauthorized inquiries are visibly deprioritized before you schedule anything.
Why does physical access to the boat matter for scoring?
A lead who confirms they currently have access to the boat for inspection scores meaningfully higher than one who doesn't, since yard time booked before access is confirmed risks scheduling for a vessel your team can't yet see.
What happens if a customer selects multiple restoration areas, like woodwork and hull structure together?
The multi-select answer is captured as-is so your team sees the full scope, exterior finish, woodwork, hull structure, upholstery, or hardware, before the inspection rather than discovering it on-site.
How is a rush restoration job different from an exploratory inquiry in the scoring?
Selecting 'Immediately' on the start-timeline question is treated as an urgency signal, while 'Just exploring options' is not, so the same condition and hull answers can still land in different priority bands depending on timeline.
How is this different from the Teak Restoration or Gelcoat Restoration intake?
Those sibling intakes focus on a single surface or material; the Classic Boat Restoration catalog asks about hull material, overall condition, and multiple restoration areas together, since classic-boat projects typically span structure, wood, and finish at once.
