Deciding factor vis-a-vis tankless versus new tank would of course be
cost of your energy source...here in San Diego I replaced with gas
tank rather than tankless..as electric costs 1.5x gas and would 2x as much
to go to an electric 6 gal kitchen sink heater...
It took only about 1/2 day to replace our tank...sweating the copper fittings
took the longest (besides disposing of the old tank)...it was a very satisfying
project and not that complex...Long story short I would never replace
50 gal tank with tankless as tankless cannot keep up with family of 4
showers//we threw out one in previous house and it was only a few years
old..actually sold on CL..You would need to be handy with propane torch
and soldering copper pipes but that is easy to learn and a very satisfying
DIY skill if you do not know already...I have since put in outdoor shower
and sink for the mudroom...

PS-
David..I object to your English lesson which contributed nothing to the
tank thread and was very disrespectful to Dale's post IMHO...
I f you can't say something nice then silence is better...again IMHO
