What is your tow vehicle? Does it (tow vehicle) have a full-size spare (not a donut)? If not, you’ll want to upgrade to one. Pulling a trailer with a donut spare is ill-advised.

One thing to keep in mind is vehicle speed. If you have a good-sized tow vehicle, you may find it easy to cruise along at high speeds with such a small boat in tow. But realize that most trailer tires are speed-limited. Make sure to understand the tire rating and keep speeds in check.

For trailer tire changing you’ll want to have a good jack and other necessary tools.

I suggest you practice a bit locally before making the trip to Canada.
