Looks like a 60's style flatbottom jet. That was before hull ID numbers, so it's hard to say who the builder was.
As far as the boat tracking left and right. Looks like the pump is high off the bottom of the boat because of the flat bottom design of the hull.
This makes the thrust line high, which pushes the nose down. That hull has a deep entry nose, so it's tracking back and forth. Need to get the nose up.
How are the plates on the back set. If there flat with the bottom, raise them and see if that helps.
A wedge to change the angle of the nozzle will help push the back down and raise the bow.
A place diverter would do it also, but more expensive. Maybe a droop to lower the thrust line, but I would start with the least expensive changes first.
Have you checked to see how flat the bottom of the boat is? If it has a hook in it, that will push the nose down causing it to track.
Be careful, at speed if the nose catches it can spin out.
Keep in mind these are just my opinions.
