If your Jeep is in good running condition then there shouldn't be any issues.
If your Jeep is questionable, then you would be taking a chance.
check all that can be, change what you can and go for it.

Make certain your bump stops are in order. I did not know I had a rear missing and I broke a leaf.
As far as the jeep handling it? LOL that aint nothing.
I had 31" mtz's stock gearing cranking 70mph the whole way. No issues at all.

A single jet ski and trailer is about equal to a fully loaded car with gear. Those things are light. Star pulling 2000+ lbs and you'll start seeing a difference, but with what you have, you probably wont even notice the ski is back there. You really dont even need the tranny cooler pulling that, but it never hurts.

I could hop into my Jeep and drive a thousand miles without even thinking twice about it. I figure if I could make my 80 round trip every day without any issues, why would a simple road trip be any different?

Don't see what your concern is, 200 miles is nothing and towing so little weight, I would be more concerned about the stereo working if you got a toddler with you,(are we nearly there yet?)
also, what center caps are those?
wait! i see in your sig. you sold your swaybar. while how does it drive pulling the trailer without swaybars?
