I'm looking for feedback on a Ron House 12'6" Race Board

I'm looking for feedback on a Epoxy Ron House 12'6" Race Board. I'm 185 and will be using it in all ocean conditions. Is it a good stable all around design?

I just bought one, but haven't paddled it but once since the weather has turned cold.  I'm 165 lbs, bought it for lake paddling.  It seems to have plenty of volume for me, paddles nicely into the wind, has a little rocker which will probably be a net benefit when it gets choppy.  With the wide tail and recessed deck, it seems stable.  It has a light lay-up so it not as resistant to dings and dimples as one might want.

I'd been shopping for a 14' board (without finding what I want) when the used 12-6 Ron House showed up locally, so I couldn't resist.  From my limited experience, the Ron House seems to be about as good as any other 12-6 that I've paddled for lake conditions.
