I have never seen a Whaler used in a West Marine on-line ad:

Wow, that was strange. There was a Spring Splash ad for West Marine that had an 80's Outrage featured prominently in the photo.
I went back to the West Marine site and now there is a photo of sailboats. Puzzling.
Please disregard this link.

I saw the Whaler in the email I received from West Marine today also.

If you go to westmarine.com the second picture is the 4 picture slide show is the Outrage I assume you were referring to?

Actually it is a Guardian or Raider.
There is nothing unusual about a Whaler in a West Marine ad. I have seen many over the years.
West Marine often shows boats in their ads. Boston Whalers are popular and common boats that have been made for a very long time so it is really no surprise at all that one should show up in a boating equipment ad from time to time.

I'm curious where the picture was taken, does anyone know?

I had to break down and go to West Marine today also, and I saw an add they had [for other products on sale but not involving a Boston Whaler boat].

And did you notice what category of merchandise was covered? SAFETY

I have seen that boat for sale several times on Craigslist for a couple of years. I have not seen it advertised for quite a while now.
I believe the owner (or former owner) is pictured operating the boat. The craigslist ad sometimes linked to a website where more pictures were posted. That picture was one of the pictures I have seen before. I believe it had twin pre-Etec Evinrudes. It is a 22.
