About Us

Thanks for stopping by our website. We appreciate your time as well as the opportunity to share a little bit about ourselves.

Our “Dad”, James R. Oliver, established Pittsburg Marine in the summer of 1979, it all got started with Evinrude Outboards. With “God’s” blessings here we are over 35 years later! The Lord called Dad home on February 21, 2009 but he is still thought of each and every day here at Pittsburg Marine!! Pittsburg Marine is now proudly owned and operated by Jimmy and David Oliver. We were awarded as the “2007 Ranger Boats Dealer of the Year!” Then for 2008 we were voted by the Ranger family as their “Legacy Award” recipient! Praise the Lord for His blessings and mercy!!
