Indirect water heater

Does anyone build an indirect water heater with coil and two 4500W elements. 

Looking for 65 gallon size water heater. 

I know some solar water heaters have the coil and one 4500W element. 

Vaughn has 119 gallon with coil and two 4500W elements but the home owner does not want that large of a tank.

    Bock still offers a glass lined 50 & 80. Probably Heat-Flo has some stainless offerings.
    The Rheem Solaide is still around. it has a coil wrapped around the outside. Bradford white?
    10 years ago every brand had solar tank options :)

    Another thought would be to use a rearguard electric water heater, a nonferrous circulator and a tankless coil or a hx. I assume what you are trying to accomplish is heating dhw with the boiler during the heating season and with the electric elements during the off season.

    Utica Boiler, ECR sells this nice looking DHW module to add to a boiler and tank. Use an electric tank for a dual fuel option
