Dirigo 120 accessories; seat pad; spray skirt questions

Morning, posted a picture of the inside of my 120, wondering is there a spray skirt or some sort of cover that can be attached to stop some water from coming inside without covering the cup holder and water tight round storage?
Also is there a recommendation seat pad for that seat for better long term kayaking trip comfort?

One of my used kayaks came with a skirt-like thing with cupholders built into it that fit on the coaming like a spray skirt. It wasn’t designed to be close fitting to your waist like a spray skirt, but it looks like could keep some water out. I never used it.

This is the only picture I have of it.

@FLKayak, as far as I have seen you haven’t said much about what kind of paddling you are planning to do, just river and lake paddling. Your questions seem like you may be over-preparing for river and lake paddling, so …

What kind of environment are you going to be paddling in? What distances? Narrow and swift rivers, or wide and still rivers? Rapids?
Small lakes, or large lakes with enough fetch to build up waves? Do you have pictures?

I personally have never done anything extreme enough to need to carry a repair kit, a spare paddle, or a spray skirt (although I have had to paddle directionally to keep chop from swamping me).

Slow medium Rivers, lakes, probably 2-10miles, no rapids, no real waves , just wanted to stop the water from getting inside of kayak wet from when paddling side to side over head movement. I know it entirely possible just more enjoyable. Not over prepared , just enjoying the thought of peoples advice and ideas that have been doing this far longer than I have

a 1/2 skirt, bit of cutting and sewing???
