I am going to cut the line and splice in a new section about a foot long. As far as I can tell the hose runs from the front to back in one piece.
That's the way improvise. Whatever the size is you could possibly find some steel tubing and moderately flare the ends and insert into the cut hose and double hose clamp on the OD.

Just thought, is it a return hose or a pressure hose. I don't know how high the pressure gets.

Depending on where you are you might find an auto parts store or some such place and have a custom hose made to order while you wait!! There's got to be someplace around Galveston that will make up a hose for you!
