Earnhardt said one day he felt the need to get a boat where he could spend a night out on he lake. So he began to look for a boat and soon enough, he came across a Gibson, which was listed for a reasonable price. But then the boat was 'out' of his life as it was 'gone' and 'probably sold' as per Earnhardt.

He claimed he was glad the boat disappeared as he didn't need it in the first place. But then, months later, his niece Karsyn brought up a familiar picture to him.

"She says the guy that has that boat still has it for sale. I was like, 'Man you can't be talking about the same boat.' I mean of all the boats out there. How did this guy get back to you? And I was like, 'Send me a picture of this damn boat you're talking about.' And I'm expecting to get a photo and not be the boat and go, 'Hey, it's not the boat. This guy don't know what he's talking about.' Sure enough, sends a picture and it's the picture. Wow. It's the boat," Earnhardt described. [12:10]
