The rule in real estate, here at least, is that "fixtures" go with the property, whether specifically identified or not. "A fixture" is an object attached to the property other than by its own weight. The stands don`t appear to satisfy the test.
In this case, the property being sold was a boat, supported on stands. Very hard to regard them as fixtures, by that standard. Or to regard the boat as a fixture, if one was purchasing the stands.
How about if the house was sitting on concrete blocks then I guess previous owner would remove the block supporting the house
In my experience,, when a yard sells a boat, you don't get the stands unless specifically asked for and specified in the contract.
A custom cradle would probably be included, but still would usually be identified in the contract.
But private sales are usually all over the place and weak contracts often disputed.
I don’t worry too much about Telephone tuff guys. in one ear and out the other
Well I decided it's not worth the time to dispute the stands so I bought my own. The old stands were not in great shape so I told the former owner to take them. Lesson learned to put it in writing.
