Congratulations Steve - I'm sure you can easily pull it with the Campah 
I fish because the voices in my head tell me to.

What do they call that bow style? Kinda looks like a river drift boat's, but narrower.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

I'm picking her up tomorrow and will be prepared as any good Boy Scout would be:

I bought two new wheels and tires today
I will be taking my grease gun (not a WWII Grease Gun  ;) )

It has bearing buddies
The boat is 16' console steer. (soon to be center console????)
The bent-upwards bow on this model is called the Alaskan; on others it's called a Bayrunner.

Been going through my ton of loose boat parts and figuring out the layout.

More photos tomorrow.  :d

Buy it nice or buy it twice.

 I did zoom up on the trailer tire and it certainly appeared to have bearing buddies. The rubbuer part of the bearing seals is likely very brittle, and might let some grease ooze out when you pump up the bearing buddies. Always good to pull over every so often and put your hand on the wheel spindle to make sure theyre not getting real hot
Success derives from not repeating failure

Take an infrared temp gun and gun the hub at every stop.
