I'd be happy to help you find new leaf springs for your 2020 Tracker Targa V18 Tandem Axle Trailer, but there's no database that says what length leaf springs you have or what capacity they need to be.
The first thing you'll need to do is jack the trailer off the ground and allow the axle to hang so no weight is on it or the wheels/tires. Once that's done you'll need to measure the leaf springs from center to center of the spring eyes as shown in the included diagram.
Second is you need to find the axle tag on the center of the axle beam, and look for the capacity. I don't recommend going with leaf springs higher than the axle rating personally. All you'll be doing is making a rougher ride.
For example the # e48SR you were looking at measures 26" long measured center of spring eye to center of spring eye, and would work for 4,000lb trailer axles. If this matches your specs this would be a great option, as the dacromet coating is perfect for a boat trailer like yours.
If you find you have a different length spring or different axle rating just let me know.
