An HBU-55 would be in the the class of antennas that I would recommend.
If you were starting over, I would favor a combination of an XG91 and a 10 element high-VHF (YA1713 or Y10713). An HD7698P would be a 'close second' option.
I would certainly look at the coax, if the connectors have not been sealed perfectly, and water has gotten in, replace the coax. If there is corrosion or damage to the antenna it may be time to replace it. If it's in serviceable condition then it sounds like you may want to start over with the amplifier to see what you can get with the existing antenna.
Use only one amplifier. The best place for the amplifier is at the antenna, not 30 or 60 feet down the line. The attenuation of the cable ahead of the amplifier input subtracts from the total signal-to-noise ratio and can not be recovered. Placing the amp at the antenna preserves the hard won signal quality. The low noise of the Antennas Direct CPA-18 makes it my choice in this situation.
