It sounds like you've got 70" between the two side frame stanchions on your trailer, so the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703 you were looking at is going to be the best solution. This hitch will work on box frame, C-channel frame, or I-beam frame trailers.
If your trailer doesn't have a trailer connector on the rear you'll also need to add that. The best solution is to use Bonded 4-wire # 16-4B-1 , which is sold by the foot and the Tekonsha 4 Pole Hardwire Kit # 18252 . You will need to splice the bonded wire into the wiring on your 5th wheel's 7 way connector and then run enough of the bonded wire to the back of the vehicle to allow you to wire on the 4-way for the boat trailer. You may also want some butt connectors for 16 gauge wiring like this pack of 5 with part # 05731-5.
