Consider this: it's not an upgrade, it's a fancy seat and a GPS holder. The Dirigo and the Camden are nearly the same boat. They serve the same waters, and the Camden doesn't really come with extra cargo space.
Consider a half skirt if you just want a place to put things. And a seat pad to keep your butt comfy.
Old Town used to make a Cayuga, which would be an upgrade on your current boat, but they no longer make it from what I understand. I have a Old Town Casco 120 (the predecessor to the Dirigo, or maybe the Camden) and, honestly, unless you move to a light touring boat not much of it's equivalent will be an "upgrade".
Thanks for the advice, I went with your method of laminating strips for the coaming and it turned out great! I I'm planning on varnishing my boats this weekend, and I will create an update post not long after with pictures of the progress.
I wanted to ask though, surprisingly the hardest thing so far about this project has been shopping for spray skirts... Do you have any advice on where to get a spray skirt for a custom shaped coaming? Pretty much everywhere that I found online will tell you if their spray skirts match a specific prefabricated boat, but totally leave out the circumference and/or actual dimensions of the thing.
I just bought
this one on Amazon and it has the circumference I need, and it's almost too long from front to back, but it's not even wide enough to reach from the left side to the right side of my coaming, so now I need to return it and try to find another one that's wider, but isn't outrageously long. What can I do here?
For that type of paddling I use the Extreme Tour from Seals. Your boat is a 1.4 size. You can get them from Amazon for $150.00 but shop around.
Using the Google Machine that looks like an oddly shaped cockpit. It may be worth looking for a half skirt or work deck. They're more adaptable and appear to fit a wider range of cockpit sizes and shapes.
