I became the proud owner of a 3hp
Evinrude 1955 year. The block was stuck but after a little work it is free. The rings are broken, I went out to find a set of rings for this motor (they are not readily available). The ones I have found are $300.00 per piston. Does anybody know of a set (2) rings that will fit this engine; maybe same size and diameter from another model engine? Please know I am trying to put together a piece of history and keep it from going to the trash.

Thank you in advance for any information, it will be greatly appreciated.

There are a few members here that have many new old stock items, they might be able to help you for a more reasonble cost.  I saw the ebay auction for $120, I guess they must think those rings are made of gold!
