Help Identify Vintage 50's Lone Star Boat

[Detroitamplab]

I purchased this 50's Lone Star boat recently. I haven't been able to find the make/model.

Boat measures 14.4ft in length. Beam is 58".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not good with these forums. Photo is available if you click on the word "Flickr" below.

Do you have a metal identification plate or serial number anywhere on it?

Not sure which model LS you have but it's a little cutie!

There is a small red badge on the back that says "Lone Star, Made in Grand Prairie, TX". No serial number could be found.

I believe it's a Commander of some sort. Maybe an admiral? I have no clue. Not able to find pics to match it.

It's a Commander with the optional mid-deck. Looks like a late 50's. I have one myself with the mid-deck, 1955. Early on they had a problem with the transom being too weak, so they put that bar across the transom and reinforcing the center strut making the boat you have possibly a late 50's model. The serial number should be imprinted on the stern, starboard side up under the corner handle. Also with your mid-deck, look under and inside on the forward panel, sometimes they signed (hand written) the year and model. Mine reads "Star Commander 1955". This is a very stable and durable boat. HP is rated up to 25.
