That is a storage hatch. The BEST advice is to go to www.texaskayakfisherman.com and ask, ask, ask Check the used section too Get with one of the guys there and go fish with him and see what you like

Beware. Dry is a relative term, and both of those boats will take on about a cup of water an hour, as do most boats. Use a dry bag for the wallet, keys, cell phone, etc. or they will be wet.
That said, the Drifter is a much better boat than the scrambler. If you can afford it get the drifter, if not the Scrambler will get you by (I have two)

I will assume you are talking about the Speck. The speck is just a Scrambler made for Academy. They are a good kayak for the price. The only downfall to that boat is the narrow seat, which gives some of the bigger guys problems with comfort. I believe it is made out of slightly thinner material (I may be wrong). I believe that is how they keep the price down. This would not cause you any major problems, just don't store it in the sun, and don't drag it while loading. That goes with all kayaks though.
