Yesterday afternoon I stopped at a West Marine Store .. have you been to
one
of these stores lately?

It varies a lot from store to store. I've found that generally those that
still have some of the old BoatUS people around tend to be better.

There are a couple around here that are pretty good, with knowledgeable
people. Others I've been in have been terribly uninformed. The staff per
store varies quite a bit also.
