If it says "Made in Canada", your Sideiwnder should have the first letters of the Hull ID Number (HIN) of QHT.
If so, it was made by Sidewinder Marine & Custom Fabrication of Surrey, British Columbia.
According to my records, they are still in business, and their phone number is 604-541-1387.
If there are different letters (first 3) in the HIN, let me know and I'll try to ID it further for you.

if its like others I have seen its a 4cyl volvo penta, The hulls were really good I had an 18' with olds & jet, but those 16.5 were a little weak and theres not much you can do to improve them
