I should have told you guys/gals this is for the store only. We have a
separate marina building on the water for service, and a separate sales
location on the highway 7 miles away for boat/motor sales. In other
words, no need to include 'boats' in the description. The name is for
the store only and the "Brown's Marina" part will be listed on the sign
above the name I eventually choose.


I offer you this -- a quote from one of Patrick O'Brian's
Aubrey/Maturin novels (The Thirteen Gun Salute p27 of the pb):

[T]he land's main function [is] to provide marine stores --
it [is] not a place for real existence. [Patrick O'Brian]

Thus, a simple "Marine Store", while not particularly funny,
might be just what you are looking for.

BTW, welcome back.
