You are correct that hubs using inner bearing # LM11949 and outer bearing # LM67048 has been discontinued.

The only option to keep your current axle will be finding some new old stock hubs on a resale website.

If you are unable to find any hubs then the only option will be a replacement axle. The option I recommend going with is the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension.

The correct one will be dependent on the weight of your boat and trailer. You can find this rating stamped on the trailer as the GVWR. This will be near the VIN of the trailer.

For example if you have a 2000lb axle then you will want to go with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System with Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 - Regular Tires - 2,000 lbs # A20RS545. This option includes idler hubs with the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. These axle-less suspensions bolt directly to the frame of your trailer so you do not need to measure your current axle, and they replace your leaf springs with a progressive rate AEON main spring that does a great job of absorbing road shock and will give you quite the upgrade in ride quality.

If you find your trailer needs a higher rated axle just let me know.

I included a video of the # A20RS545 for you to take a look at.
