Depending on the weight of your pontoon boat and trailer the best option is the Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire - 205/65-10 - Load Range E # AM1HP56 as they will be an exact replacement and have a 1650lb load rating at 90 PSI.
The next highest rated tire is the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM32153 which has a load rating of 1925lbs at 60 PSI, but this tire is going to be just under 6" taller overall, so you will need to make sure you have at least 6" clearance from the top of your current tires to the bottom of the fender for these to fit.
If needed you could use an over-under kit like the # K71-384-00 if you have 2-3/8" diameter axles or the # K71-385-00 if you have 3" diameter axles to lift your trailer. These kits move the axle from on top of your leaf springs to underneath the leaf springs which raises the trailer by the diameter of the axle plus the thickness of the spring stack and would give you the clearance you need to run larger tires.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
