Did you say "Seaway" ???
Your thought that your boat is in it's "stock/origonal" state is correct .... "Seaways" where "origonal" equipment on H16's and TheMightyHobie18's .... as they discovered that w/ more "mast rake" ==> better upwind performance on the H16 ... very quickly the mainsheet stack was upgraded to "Harkin Triple Blocks". This reduced the "stack" height ==> more mast rake. (I also think the "Seaways" were no long availible ... but they do last aloooong time)
Please check on the Hobie Cat Forums/H16 ... look for Matt Millers "FAQ" thread ... the information you need will be there ....
