The seven Fisher brothers

The following article from 1928 details the purchase of twin yachts by the Fisher brothers (Lawrence & William). William's yacht was named the "Laura M. IV".  Since the chips were delivered in 1924, I assume the name of the yacht at that time was the "Laura M. III or maybe II"?? 

Fisher's chips were delivered to the T.B. Rayl Company of Detroit which sold tools, factory supplies and contractors equipment.
