Camden angler or Dirigo angler

I spend at least $100 a year in kayak rentals so I’m considering purchasing a fishing kayak this year. I’ve liked the Perception Patriot I’ve rented but would like something a bit nicer with a water resistant console hatch and place for a graph which is why I’m considering the Camden or Dirigo. Has anyone demo’d both who can provide some insight to real-life experience? The Camden is slightly bigger but otherwise seems comparable to the Dirigo. Both look excellent regardless. I’m open to hearing about other angler kayak models too. Thanks.

I know you mentioned a kayak, but you should check out Golden Hawk Canoes. Their made in WI, and a majority of their models are under $1000. I saw it on a well known muskie show, They’re pretty manuverable and they have a spot for a small gas or transom mount trolling motor
