For a poontoon boat (what, maybe 50 pounds?), the old flatbed 4x8 Costco trailers ( the red ones) seemed plenty adequate. My brother-in-law uses one to transport his motorcycle, which weighs substantially more than your pontoon boat and gear, I reckon, and he's had no problems with it. That Snowbear trailer seems very, very nice for the price! (to me). I bet it would function just fine for you.
