Hello there and welcome to the forum!
You have three very nice motors there, all in quite nice condition under the dirt. As they are all nice motors, I would strongly advise against scrapping them. They may not be worth as much as you may think but if you do want to sell them I would recommend maybe taking them along to a meet held by the closest AOMCI chapter. There you should be able to stir up some interest and end up with a buyer. I can vouch for everyone and say that if you do sell your motors to an AOMCI member, you can rest assured that they will be preserved and taken care of and not just thought of as ‘an old outboard that’s good for nothing’.
I think that out of your three motors, the Chrysler would probably be the most common one. Finding a Martin with the original manual I believe is something that doesn’t happen every day, and unfortunately I can’t say anything for sure about the Scott. Price wise, it’s hard to value something without actually seeing it, but I wouldn’t say that any of these motors are high up on the rarity scale as quite a few were made over their production runs.
You could always just keep the motors for yourself and get them running and use them on a boat – if you need any help or have any queries i’m sure someone here should be able to help you.
Hope this helps
Cheers
