Thoughts on Malibu stealth 12 sit on top - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I had the stealth 12 newer model. The one right before the seats changed.
Had that kayak for about two years. Only water issue I ever had came from breaking through waves on beach launches. And then only maybe a cup or two.
One beach landing I got swamped and had a gallon or inside the hull.
I never took it out more than a .25 mile offshore as the kayak was not a great paddle. Slow and wandered around.
Also with all the taking on water videos and warnings I read about. I tried to stay within a swims distance for shore.
Great kayak for hitting local kelp beds not so great for long distance.
