Your F78-14 size tires are the same size as the current 205/75-14 tire size so that's what you'll want to replace them with.
I recommend going with the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D, # AM10235 If you need to get this a wheel then that will get part # AM20352 which a white wheel with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern it looks like you have (see attached article to verify). You would need to get these mounted at a local shop since they do not come pre-mounted.
If you wanted a wheel with better corrosion resistance then I recommend the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel # AM32156 which has the same 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern but the wheel has the galvanized finish so it will hold up much better to the water. This still has a good speed rating at 81 mph.
Attached are review videos of each tire/wheel as well as some helpful articles we have on the site.
