Here is one thought....
#1. Do you like your place at the lake?
#2. Do you expect to own it for at least a few more years?
If so, spend the money and replace the boiler completely. Not usually a huge job and most likely under $5000. Be done with all the fooling around. Given its current age, it is likely on life support anyway and you will have to replace it at some time in the future. If you sell at some point, it will be a selling feature. At least look at this alternative before making any further decisions. Get three quotes to do the job.
