The boat has two features that would tend to narrow down the possibilities: 1) The bow has a pre-1986 profile (before the ICF's "blunt-end" requirement); 2) the boat has wings.
Because it has wings, the boat must be a later design than the Cudamax (the last wingless boat in the "Max" series). However, as any later "winged" C-1s should have a blunt bow, I would guess that it is either a Batmax or a Super Batmax.
Regarding weight range, I don't recall that being a published stat for boats of that vintage. Certainly it would be fine for 145-165 lbs. My old Batmax was used by my kids when they were trying out C-1 as the narrow bow tended to make strokes for small folk easier, so lighter weights shouldn't be a problem either. However, I don't think it would be very forgiving for much heavier paddlers. Both bow and stern are pretty low volume as slalom courses still had mandatory reverse gates at that time and boats were designed to facilitate sneaking both ends. You might be able to push it up to 185-190 lbs., but beyond that it would probably start to behave more like a squirt boat, particularly in bigger water.

slalom boat
I was 190 when I bought it and looking at agree with John I would be at the top of the range. It seems like its in pretty good shape. They only Slalom boat I actually paddled that I owned was a fantome. I don't see anything to identify the boat but I guessed it was 10-15 years old - sorry I dont have more info detail
I'm moving at the end of the month and losing the 2 car garage for no garage no shed- so I imagine I will have another boat or two for sale soon just havent figured out which others I want to sell- my fleet is down to a solo, remix79, I3, Viper c1 full cut, the slalom boat, and a wheelboy
a prophet and a skeeter which I'm not allowed to sell and a riot groove which I will trade for a bountiful beverage supply later this summer.
