Of all the factors that affect the building potential of a marina site, what one factor is the most critical?  In my opinion, it's the soil characteristics.  The soil classifications for a marina are frequently a mystery to marina owners and they are frequently overlooked by assessors.  Fortunately, thanks to our friends at the USDA.
