I have the same boat, 1986 P28-2. For what it's worth, my tank is hooked up to the engine and provides blistering hot water after a short run of the engine. The tank is also is a bit rusty (the water isn't) but still functions quite well.
In my opinion, hot water is one of the features that made this boat more attractive to me and I consider it a great feature. As suggested earlier, I'd consider the effect on resale if you remove it. Your call obviously.
Good luck.
