I have seen many trailers break down and even cause accidents because the equipment was not fit to be on the highway - dry-rotted tires, frozen or worn bearings, rusted axles and faulty brakes are all hazards to others on the road. Regardless of who is driving it, you will be held responsible for causing an un-roadworthy trailer to be on the highway. Spend $200 to have a mechanic ensure that the trailer is up for the trip.

Overall, if you can't sail it up the intercostal, i think paying someone else to tow it is a good option.
good stuff right there
