Transporting sea kayaks on a Outback

We are looking into an Outback model t@b, but need to bring the toys along; two 17' fiberglass sea kayaks (~50 lbs each) plus one or two 29er mountian bikes.  The TV is a Nissan Xterra.  I could mount the yaks on the Xterra, but am concerned about turning 'pinch' given the overhang of the boats off the back of the Xterra between the trailer.   Has anyone experienced this?    How about moving the Yakama rack farther up on top of the Outback and mounting the kayaks centered over the trailer.   My concern there would be side drafting & rack damage to the roof/integrity from side torque (meeting trucks on the highway, etc).    Thanks for any insiges!!
