Recommended 4-on-4 Hubs for Boat Trailer That Uses L44643 Bearings

Question:

I recently took an axel off of an older boat trailer. The spindle needed to be replaced so I took it to a welder and had him replace the spindles for me. He told me that the spindles I had on there fit a 3/4 inch nut and that they dont make spindles for that size anymore. He replaced them with a spindle that has a 1inch nut. So my question is that i need to know what size hub i need for the new spindles? The spindles are to fit bearings L44643. Im just not sure what hub i need for this spindle. The tires have 4 holes on the rims so i need a hub thats 4-4.
