There should be a Coast Guard registration plate that recommends a maximum horse power rating for that boat. If there is none, the rating in the range of 200 to 300 HP is enough. IF you are sure of the length 300 HP is pushing it.

1957 johnson outboard 10 hp fuel mixture ratio

https://www.google.com/search?q=1957+johnson+outboard+10+hp+fuel+oil+ratio

What is the mix ratio for a Johnson outboard motor?

Any Johnson outboard motor built since 1964 requires a 50/1 fuel ratio. Motors built prior to that date require a 32/1 ratio, with the exception of a few fishing motors built prior to 1955 that use a 16/1 ratio.

Should have bought a 225/250 hp. Not quite enough power for my 23 foot center console. Is there a "chip" or something to get some more HP out of this motor?

Probably but most likely will shorten engine life. Change of prop to one that will cope with higher RPM if there is such a thing, may allow higher engine revs, therefore, more horsepower. If it's an inboard engine. If outboard talk to your dealer.

What is the gas/oil mix for an 80 hp johnson outboard motor

Even thought there are many expert tech's with sometimes more years of experience on this site than some you may find working in a repair shop, and of course many that simply give you their guess as the correct answer. I would recommend calling a Johnson Outboard Dealer or an outboard repair shop.
