My normal travel is about 35 minutes, with the bay about 1.5 hours
away.
My suggestion is that no matter how far you trailer, keep a sharp
watch on your bearing buddies, and install a set if you don't have them.
Be careful about over greasing, as the grease can totally ruin your
brake shoes if it gets out past the rear wheel bearing seal.
I have lost count of the number of times I have seen diabled boat
trailers sitting along the local interstate which leads to the
river area. You can't do much roadside repair on bearings that are
nearly welded fast to the axel from overheat failure.
Oh yes, don't forget to take the keys to the boat!
Thanks for the tips. A couple of critical concerns even to this novice!
