T120s are nice boats that paddle better than most. The curved sides of the hull (the chine) actually make the boat more stable in sloppy water than the typical flat-bottomed barge. I took my old-school T120 down the twisty Owens River with Andy just a few weeks ago. Handled it like a champ.

However, if you are going to be travelling long distances, you might be more comfortable in a longer 13 or 14 ft kayak - they cruise with less effort. The other consideration is weight capacity. The T120 is rated for 350.
