I've busted up a few Weil Maclain boilers that were 25 plus years old, to get them out of a basement or crawlspace, and the were still pretty solid and leak free.

Finding an installer that won't cost you and arm and a leg will be the difficult part.
LOL... they use to built well.... just like cars, appliances, etc. you're living in the old days if you believe they last 30 years!
