Has this FREEDOM FINALLY Reached Its Breaking Point??? | Tow 45ft Freedom

Today may very well be the last time we see the sailing vessel Finally. This 45ft Freedom sailboat has been featured a handful of times on this channel over the past couple of years (see links below) as the owner had a propensity to find some of the shallower spots in Sarasota Bay. Unfortunately, for one or more reasons, including his age, he hasn’t been able to take the boat out this year, and so maintenance has been an afterthought, which has led to some issues with the boat. That, (plus as I learned in this video) he's selling the boat, are the reasons this boat is being hauled out at Bradenton Beach Marina. Which, as anyone who's watched my previous videos knows, I hate taking boats into.

AI-Generated Description:
Grab a snack, buckle in, and mentally prepare yourself, because today might be the grand finale for one of this channel’s most iconic repeat offenders: the 45ft Freedom sailboat Finally.
Yes… that Finally.
The one who treats Sarasota Bay’s shallow spots like collectible trading cards.
The boat who has starred in more unintentional grounding episodes than any vessel should legally be allowed.
The sailboat that has given me enough material for an entire playlist and a mild case of nautical PTSD.
Over the past couple years, Finally has made several appearances here, usually while resting comfortably on a sandbar that most boats would consider a warning sign. But this year, things have changed. The owner, for various reasons including age, hasn’t been able to take her out at all. Maintenance slipped. Systems slipped. Optimism slipped. And—plot twist I didn’t learn until filming—he’s decided it’s time to sell her.
So today, after a long career of bravely exploring all the places boats aren’t supposed to go, Finally is getting hauled out at Bradenton Beach Marina.
And if you’ve been subscribed for more than 15 minutes, you already know I treat taking boats into Bradenton Beach Marina the same way a cat treats bath time: reluctantly, suspiciously, and loudly questioning all life decisions that led to this moment. Narrow entrances, weird currents, sandy surprises… it’s basically a nautical escape room where the only prize is not hitting something expensive.
So join me on one last ride with a vessel that’s brought us laughter, confusion, and more groundings than most!
Is this truly the end of Finally’s saga?
Will the marina let me leave with my dignity intact?
Will the boat behave for once?
(If your answer was “probably not,” congratulations: you’ve watched this channel before.)
