they worked well on my 6.0 for a distance race through some serious chop. I think they would be great to have on the f16 for a distance event especially with chop because I don't think I can get the bow up enough on the blade unless I am trapped out. The line would definately need to go to the transom though. If I did the RTI in FWB on the blade I would definately put them on... but even with one I don't think I would last very long (esp since I am not up to standard like I was before I moved).
