You can get 5 gallon (about 10 liters) thick square plastic bags.
I believe I got mine at REI a long time ago. Most sporting goods 
stores should have them as they are popular with the car camping 
crown. It collapses and would fit in a boat, though if you have small 
hatches you'd need to fill after putting in the boat. You might look 
at rigging it up behind the seat. 

I haven't kayaked with mine, but I did carry it in my backpack for 
a trip in to the backcountry of Badlands National Park where all 
water has to be packed in.

Let me say this. Water is heavy.
