Hmm, I loved John Madden and owned a Biesemeyer!! In late 70s we would watch these boats race on the Snake River at Burley. Of the 25 or so that ran in K class, most were Biesemeyers, a few Revenge (I believe so named due to a falling out with Rusty Biesemeyer). The Revenge was almost identical to the Biese, except for a ridge on middle of bow! Correct me if my memory is wrong.

The new K boats require closed cockpits due to some bad accidents that have happened. I'm certain there's some K Boats like these around as well as the lower classes such as superstocks that don't run cockpits due to cost reasons. I'm pretty sure in this video he was only testing which to guys with balls like theirs is nothing but a walk in the park.

They drive from the rear of the engines. That's why the engines are installed backwards. They then drive through the V drive which then drives the prop through the back of the boats. All classes with V drive operate that way. As did my and essentially all ski race boats also. That includes hydros
