Definitely not a jet. Malibu boats are V-drive or straight inboard depending on if they are wake or ski only boats. The bulk of their boats are V-drive.
In a v-drive, the engine is in the back of the boat. A shaft goes forward to a gearbox, which then transfers the power to a shaft going aft to the propeller. This keeps the floorplan open, unlike a true inboard where your engine is in the center of the boat.
