PPT is not a fun place to hang out. Usually extremely hot and muggy. Little or no facilities outside of security. After security it is a bit more comfortable. I have taken the last flight from BOB to PPT on three occasions for an 2300 flight to LAX and even that was miserable. Cannot imagine 3 more hours.

I would book a short term room to wait for the flight.

As for whether 3 in BOB and 1 in PPT is enough, I wouldn't do it. Even though it is only a little over an hour flight to and from PPT, you are still wasting the better part of a day between check-in, flight, baggage wait and transfers to and from hotel. Not my cup of tea.
