How about a knee tube.

Or an underdeck bag.

The above websites were the first ones I googled with decent pictures of
each possible solution.

I use a hydration bladder in a sleeve on my pfd.  For longer jaunts I
lash a second hydration bladder to
the deck.  Being sure to lash it tight as I don't want it to shift. I
usually paddle a skinny sit on top (surf ski)
there is no internal storage on my boat.
