How easy are these to install?

Simple If you're just replacing a broken one. Probably just two or three screws and then hooking up the pitot to the hose. It would be even easier if you can find out the brand of your old one and find the same one. That way the screws would probably line up perfectly.

Many of the pictures are missing but this thread should help with your gauge replacement https://jetboaters.net/threads/replacing-tach-speedo-and-voltage-gauges.39/

I would take this opportunity to consider whether you want a GPS/Depthfinder/fishfinder combo at this time and use the transducer that comes with that to install at the same/similar spot. Loose the OEM speedo since your new GPS will have speed. You could then use the speedometer "hole" in the dash for one of the new dash mount stereo/receivers which would put your radio directly in front of you instead of in the passenger glove compartment(?). Just spending some of your $$ for you

If you plan to put on the OEM speedo which really are not very accurate, you could install 1 screw using an existing hole and you would get away with using 3M 4200 to help glue it down. Just make sure all previous holes are sealed.

The hose connecting to the pilot tube seems to be a bit long, should I cut it down?

I'd only cut it if it kinks when the pitot is in the down position. Otherwise I'd leave the extra length in case you need to cut a piece off later if it gets stretched and rots.
