Zack McClendon Jr. has spent a lifetime building boats, beginning at age 8. He took the business launched by his father and expanded and created new markets with two branches – one for recreational boats and the other for work and military boats. McClendon has passed the 100,000 mark in boats produced, and his SeaArk craft are seen in daily use on lakes and rivers in Arkansas as well as in harbor and shore environs around the world. McClendon and a SeaArk boat were integral participants in the 1996 Arkansas River trip of Governor Mike Huckabee that helped push the Conservation Sales Tax to reality.
