Expert Reply:
Normally a trailer only uses one bow roller like the part # YR450BLK that you referenced up near the front of the trailer where the boat rests against the front of the trailer.
You might be thinking of roller bunks like the # DL21741 which is sold as a pair of 5 foot long rollers. A pair of these would be all you'd need for a 12 foot boat. For brackets you'd need the part # DL21742.
