The Fiberglassics 1956 Lone Star factory spec sheet has two Commanders listed, one with a 58" beam and one with a 61" beam. The narrow one is 165#, the wider one is 235# - Both are dry weight for a bare boat, no motor, batteries, fuel, etc. If you can find the model number, the narrow one is 171L50 and the wide is 210L00. Often stamped near the transom, sometime on the knee brace. Guessing the wider boat is a "King Commander"

Hitch up and drive to nearest highway scale. Put boat in water or on blocks and take the empty trailer over the scale for tare weight. Boat should be in actual launch condition when you weigh; ie, full gas tank/s, batteries, fishing gear, downriggers, cannonballs, ice coolers, electronics.
