its a sea ray laguna 23 1988. I just got it this year. Was a fixer uper. Just wanted someone who can answer a few questions on how the plumbing and the fish boxes were hooked up.

Re: anyone ever own this? i got questions

Didn't own that, but several like it.

The fish box in the bow is just a liner. It should have one or two drains that drain to the bilge and and water/melted ice get bilge pumped overboard. Very few have a dedicated bilge pump or drain.

The rear boxes are usually set up as a live well and a drained dry container. The un-plumbed side will usually just have a dedicated overboard drain which exits out of a thru-hull fitting.

The live well should have a raw water pump which is plumbed to a valve/nozzle which regulates the flow of aerated water into the hold. There should be an overflow tube which discharges water (passively) through another thru-hull fitting.

ya its got two boxes in the front that just drain out . and two more that look like livewells in the back. and under the floor there are 2 shutoffs that go through the boat . but no pumps anywhere they were all cut out . it looks there were 2 pumps mounted under there. plus there's a sink in the back that say's fresh and salt

If you have fresh/salt on the sink you have a fresh water tank somewhere, which needs its own pumps and hoses.
Don't use a "fish box" that drains into the bilge for fish unless you want a stanky bilge. OK for a drink cooler, although probably not well insulated.
Keep in mind that with an oold boat, there's no telling what the previous owners rigged up. For example, they may have added that sink without having a fresh water system.
