Need a plumber at Island house

Any modern updates for this? Leaking how water tank and very ageing pump/pressure tank on Barndoor Island. Looking for a plumber with a boat. I don't really want to put a HW tank leaking rust in my boat :-)

Suggest you put in an "on demand" hot water heater. It is very small and you won't have to deal with a bad rusting tank in 15 years.

The downside is you need the power capability in your electric box to run this unless you use natural or bottled gas. Also they are known for needing replacement around the 10 year mark.

Never mind. They use a ton of power. I'm already out of breaker slots and the breaker panel is already in a non code place
