I expect car shippers would do this as well and many of you guys have shipped cars so gimme your best referral. It's on a trailer but I'm not sure it's up to towing all that distance...especially at high speeds.

Go for new tires...be sure the bearings are well packed...cruise about 60-65, and you'll be fine. I towed a small sailboat for years. tiny wheels on the trailer. This one looks light enough that you could tow with a compact pickup...nice boat!

(edit) Tim's pressurized grease cups suggestion is a good one..."bearing buddy" is one brand...you can grease your bearings with a grease gun. A ditto on the marine grease as well...every time you launch, the wheels are under water, so it's good to add the extra protection.
