The other sides look like a regular boat with a little wall all the way around. On the back there's not little wall. Just the deck. AT first I thought it was cut away to show a cross section of the boat but it really looks like that. How can it float without filling up with water?

It lets the water out...
A lot of small racing boats have an open transom... they depend on inbuilt buoyancy to stay afloat, and, because they're specifically for racing, they will tend to take on a lot more water than most... and the crew don't want the extra weight of a few gallons of water aboard, nor do they want to spare the time pumping or bailing.
At rest, they do tend to ship some water through the transom, but racing boats are not designed to *be* at rest... once up and planing, all the water is gone. Literally sucked out the back
