[QUOTE="enginerd, post: 436352, member: 21309"] If it's a 50s Lone Star, I think it would be a 1958. In that era the leading digit of the HID was supposedly the last digit of the year. The next three numbers were specific to the model and the last 4 numbers were the number in the production run. The B leading the serial number is unfamiliar to me and might indicate that it's an earlier boat, but I'd still bet on 1958. The Commander is probably the model, which didn't change much in design over the years of production (below is the 1958 pamphlet): [img]https://www.fiberglassics.com/library/images/7/7d/Lonestarb58007.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
