Custom Boat Builder BigCommerce Theme
Dealer price lists, buildable options and model spec pages
Builders who sell through a dealer network spend a surprising amount of time emailing spec sheets and price lists that were out of date the day they went out. Foxco builds a boat builder BigCommerce theme that puts that paperwork online, where dealers log into their own customer group to see dealer pricing on every model, option and parts kit and retail buyers walk through a model page where hull color, power, electronics and canvas are product options with prices showing as they choose. Build galleries and spec pages show the craftsmanship, while a quote request catches the truly one-off commissions. The build is $999 installed and configured on your BigCommerce store, which is less than the gelcoat on a single hull.
Dealers, buyers and the build sheet in sync.

Boat Builder theme questions
Will my site look like every other builder's?
No. Foxco's boat builder framework for BigCommerce gives us a head start, then we build it out around your brand, your models and options and the way you sell.
How quickly can you build it?
About 7-10 days from the point we have your logo, photos and model information. Rush jobs are possible when our bandwidth allows, which helps before a boat show.
Can dealers see different prices than retail buyers?
Yes, that's what BigCommerce price lists are for. Each dealer gets a customer group and sees dealer pricing after logging in. We set up your initial dealers; portals with ordering approvals or territory rules can be built as a custom project.
Can buyers configure a boat on the site?
Product options and modifiers handle colors, engines and equipment packages with prices that update as they choose. A visual configurator with rendered images is a custom project and the BigCommerce plan or any paid apps it needs are billed by BigCommerce and the app makers, separate from the $999.
Those stale spec sheets cost more than an awkward email, since a dealer quoting last year's price on a new hull ends up eating the difference or annoying a buyer, so the theme keeps one current source for everyone.
Dealer pricing in one login
Each dealer sits in a customer group tied to a price list for models, factory options and parts kits. When you change a price, every dealer sees it the next time they log in. Demo boats, show specials and quantity pricing on parts work the same way and stocking orders go through BigCommerce checkout or a quote request.
Options a buyer can build
Hull color, engine package, electronics, upholstery and canvas become product options and modifiers with their own prices, so a buyer can spec a boat on the model page and send the configuration in with a deposit or an inquiry. Custom fields carry length, beam, draft, dry weight and fuel capacity for every model you build.
Craft worth showing
Foxco builds galleries that follow hulls through the shop, from layup or planking to rigging and the first sea trial, plus a page for each model with its standard equipment list. A separate parts catalog keeps replacement hardware, decals and trim for older hulls easy to find for owners who plan to keep their boat for decades.
Every option priced and every dealer current.
