My boil kettle is a 50l beer keg with the top cut off and a 2,2kw electric kettle element fitted. Works really well and only cost €12 for the kettle! Try it.
I just checked the Nisbett's catalogue and the have a 49l stainless stockpot for €150. A bit dear for me it but would save cutting the top off a keg which is a bit of hassle.
