The two 3" hoses that go from the vent in the bow to the drivers feet on my Pro Air Crumbled in my hand. I figured I could stop at Home Depot and Pick up Some Dryer vent hose to replace but all that stuff is aluminum now which makes sense for a dryer.

Any idea where I could pick some of that up locally? There is a west marine sort of close to my office but by sort of I mean about 20 miles each way. I'd rather not order because thats the last piece I need to put all the driver side stuff back together this weekend and I'm impatient.

Called these places but none carried it: HD, Lowes, Academy, Bass pro was out.

Did you try a hardware store? BTW, most go with flex ducting that's heavier duty than drier vent hose. McMaster has miles of it in many versions but you say you don't want to wait.

If you can't get it we have it for less than a buck a foot. Idk how some of the 30+ year old stuff survives well but stuff as new as yours crumbles.

I'm telling you dude... This poor boat lived a rough life. Hammered doesn't even begin to describe how I picked this thing up. Summer camp boat followed by sitting near a tree that liked to dump leaves plus our routine 100+ days in the summer and some non-typical snow the last few winters. Pile O Junk
