  I don't even kayak but I want one for how wonderfully cool they look.

  I can't resist sharing the image your title gave me:  you in the Erie Canal,  in your kayak, pulling your T@B...

  We also went with a Subaru Ascent!  Pulls great, and accommodates the kayaks!

  Yes, @YanniLazarus, and in a 17-inch kayak too!
  
  Ok, I'm a little too late, @DEBinIN , but here's a super-imposition of your two images after adjusting one to match the size of the cars..
  
  It looks like it could work for left-right turns, and also only if you never drive up/down a 12-degree slope from/onto a level surface, or between any two flat surfaces at 12 degrees angle to each other. 
  Congrats on your new TV, looks like the best solution.

  Front hitches are available for some vehicles.  Such as my Tacoma.  Pretty sure not for Subaru’s. Maybe custom built hitch receiver.   But Google or check Etrailer.com.
     This would allow you to use a boat support.  Yakima makes one, Long Arm, I think.  Check their website.
     This would allow you to move the boats forward on the vehicle to provide clearance.

  Belated congratulations on the solution, looks great.  For others considering similar scenarios, one option might be Oru folding kayaks. The reviews are pretty positive.

  Adding the adapters would void your warranty? The dealer is lying to you. I would have gone somewhere else. They're dishonest.
