I replaced my hot water tank, last year (bottom rusted out), and discovered that I had leaks due to the fact that the plumbing had two different kinds of threads, and proper converters weren't used. Watch out for that. Otherwise, it shouldn't be too big a job, unless you have access challenges. If you do need a new hot water tank, I got mine on Amazon, a lot cheaper than from a marine hardware supply company. The new tanks are plastic on the outside, so they won't rust.
