If the trailer is in that bad a shape . . . Buy a good trailer (new or used) drive up there block the boat up, put the new trailer under it and call a scrap yard. It's going to cost you almost as much to replace the axles, hubs, bearings, tires, leaf springs, U bolts, etc. don't forget the Hotel room for 2 nights (no gaurantee that the rest of the trailer is in serviceable shape) as it would to buy a good used trailer. . . . Is the guy going to let you do work in his yard? (saw the old bolts off . . . replace the axles) . . . That's a lot of work to do and drive 6 hours each way.
