Ron Oliver built his first boat at age 14. In 1963 he began working his way through Fresno State as a local water ski instructor and a mechanic. He purchased Coates Boat and Motor in 1971, and in 1989 Ron renamed it Oliver's Marine Center, presently located at a new Highway 41 location, centrally located in the heart of California's boating country. Ron personally attends sales and service seminars to give every customer first hand knowledge of all of the new developments in boating.
