I've actually been thinking of printing a kayak like this.

I would be worried about water getting into the voids in the infill. You would probably have to fiberglass it to make it actually usable.

You could also use a hydrophobic impregnator. Dichtol is a pretty good impregnator for 3d prints.

Oh I remember there was a guy that used it to make tiny 3d printed pressure tanks and put propane or something in them.
