I see it as leaving yourself very open to protest under the rules I see above. Like a Mossie putting a bigger square top main on, or a superwing mast despite weighing consierabl less than class rules.
If I was going to optimise my Mozzie platform for F16 I would add the lead, unfortunately the amount of lead I would have to add is about double the amount allowed under the F16 rules so it isn't viable for me because I would end up with an illegal boat anyway.
FAQ is a good idea.
