It is time for a new one for me. I want to go tankless. I have 4gpm pump now and two sinks and a shower. Any good whole boat water heaters out there. Not point of use. Must be electric too.

Everything I have read about experience with tankless water heaters is that electric is not the way to go... unless it is 240V when they are just acceptable.

I've already been here. The tankless water heaters have pretty poor performance and reviews unless they are powered by a 220/240 circuit. The 110/120 does not heat the water sufficiently and is only recommended for a single faucet application. After all was said and done, I ordered another 12 gallon Raritan. I didn't go with the heat exchanger because it was not set up to begin with. I figured I have 12 gallons of warm water underway until I turn on the generator.
