Interesting. I bet that would work. What did was wrap the tube with
fiberglass cloth & epoxy to bring it up to 1 1/2 so I could use a
proper stuffing box hose. I'm confident this is plenty strong enough,
but it's the inside diameter that concerns me. I take some comfort in
the fact that it's worked for 40 years without a scratch on the prop
shaft. Still though. I'm thinking of having a new shaft made and they
are expensive!

I haven't looked on the boat but I can't think of reason why this would not work.  That way you could use proper stuffing box hose.  You could use aluminum bronze bushing a welding rods so compatability shoudn't be an issue.
