Hey Rich, so the great thing about trailer tires like the Kenda Loadstar # KE88XR that you have is that the pressure you need to inflate them to is always the same. You need to inflate them to their max PSI when they are cold and you are good in all situations. The max psi rating for this tire is 50 psi. If when the tires get hot from being on the highway and the pressure increases there's no need to make any changes as that's to be expected.

Hey Rich, how did things go after inflating your Kenda Loadstar tires to 50 psi cold? It’d be great to hear if that pressure gave you a smooth tow with your bass boat trailer. Your update could make it easier for others with the same setup.
