I think washing it is the key, the salt water dries on it at the launch so when you get home crawl up under there and wash everything you can with fresh soapy water to get that salt off and that will be the best thing to make it last the longest. its a PITA though so most people don't bother and that's why they get so rusty.
I also don't think they do the best job when painting the trailers after they make em so there are spots that don't get much paint.
just keep it in mind to crawl under there and treat any rust you do find quickly and clean it to fresh metal and repaint that spot. it just involves a routine of steady maint. and it should last you a long time.
to be honest if its still new or in great shape I would sell it and go buy an aluminum or galvanized trailer for it so you have less things to worry about.
