I have been testing the TS-3 which I feel is a bargain. Great design and a perfect boat for P spec and beyond. Weak point is lite weight construction. I found out hitting a solid object (Bouy) at a race. My bad and ripped the transom completely out.
So I bought another one and this time rather than just sticking in a box from another boat I decided to incorporate the box into the structure of the boat. Pictures are better than explanations plus you get to see what your cutting into. I first epoxied the sides then the ends with the rear of the box attached to and reinforcing the transom. After scuffing the floor I epoxied it all together with 4oz cloth. This is just my idea of building an FE outboard.

I will post more as I finish the project. Questions of comments welcome.
