I think these will keep you busy this winter, but they all look like great projects! I would probably approach them as you are. The AD-11 will be most likely the easiest one to resurrect and I would tackle that one first. The Firestone is also a pretty good motor, and I’d do that one next. I picked up a 5hp. Corsair Navigator on the "Free" pile at Tomahawk last year and just felt sorry for it. If nobody at an outboard meet wanted it, what chance did it have? 😆 It was stuck, but it was lower unit, not power head and after I rebuilt the lower unit and gave it a new pump and other TLC, it ran very well. We closed out our season with it! I think that for small full gear shift motors, Scott Atwater’s store brand motors, (without bail-o-matic), were really competitive with Mercury and OMC. (Firestone & Corsair Navigator) The Mark-10 is also an interesting motor and very powerful for a "10" horsepower motor. John McIntosh deals with them and is a huge fan of these. He sells tools and almost anything you could need for them. He runs them all the time! These were really a "Super Hurricane" power head but 18cid, vs. 22cid. Yours is Charcoal and 57 was the first year for the Mk-10 and that paint color.
