I think, in these years, narwhal tubes was made of hypertex; it's an heavy duty PVC.
If your interested, control the gluing

I was working on a similar one recently maybe a tad smaller and it had PVC tubes. They were in bad condition and falling apart. I think that was partly down to owners abuse.

So more or less certain PVC then?
Won't hypalon glue take to PVC?

It they are original tubes they will be Hypertex, PVC coated fabric. Hypalon glue won’t work but PVC two part will; make sure you prime each surface first with MEK.

Looks sound for how much it was, tubes need a clean but apart from that its ok.
