The little co2 cartridges work fine, just make sure you have a couple spares. I've used dry ice in a makeshift trash can cooler but I don't think you have the room. Could you rig up something with buckets just slightly wider than the keg diameter and use dry ice? Maybe cut the bottoms out of a couple of them and tape them up to make like a sleeve filled with ice/ dry ice.

Whatever it takes!

I do have a big dry bag that the keg will fit in. I could put a couple of bags of ice in it but I am worried about the weight. The keg is already about as heavy as I would like to go, but perhaps dry ice would work. I just don't want to freeze it. We tried dry ice in a cooler once and it totally froze everything solid it came in contact with. If I did use dry ice the nice thing is that it's not very heavy and it doesn't make water in the boat.
Thanks for all the replies!

cheers,
