    New purchase Nova Embassy 44

    In am the new owner of an 1988 Nova Embassy Sundeck. As i was checking lower aft compartment i found Balast bars on the Starbord side of the boat. Was this a normal practice for this kind of boat? The previous owner never even opened those hidden spaces he did not know anything about them.
