You do realize that classical boiler design calls for 8 to 10 square feet of boiler heat exchanger surface area.
Compact boilers that weigh a ton or so make less than 10 horsepower.
Thean reason to use a boiler is so that you can burn something that doesn't burn so well in a piston driven application. Something like coal, wood or bunker oil.
