Wanting more pressure & Hot water

Hi all, I have a problem in our home that has been there for many years and my wife is now at her wits end. Our hot water comes from our oil fired furnace( it has a coil built in ). BTW the furnace also supplies our heat via base board. It's a colonial home and the up stairs shower has two problems, one the hot water is a hit or miss and there is little pressure.

What I am envisioning is installing a separate hot water heater ( elec ) and have it piped just into the line that feeds the up stairs area and also install some sort of pump to increase pressure in that line.

Am I off base here in my thinking ??? Ant thoughts on all this?
