Would one of these also be possible for the same idea?

than that of his brother.
than his brother's.
than his brother had.
(than his brother wanted to have)
(boat bigger than his brother)

All are possible in my opinion, except the last "boat bigger than his brother", which would mean that the boat was bigger than his brother is.
