11. The watercraft of claim 1 , further comprising a deck pad;

wherein the deck pad is recessed below a surface of the deck; and

wherein water on the deck pad can exit through the slot.

12. The watercraft of claim 1 , wherein the at least two legs can be inserted into the at least two receptacles while the watercraft is in the water.

13. A watercraft comprising:

a deck with a top surface, a bottom surface and at least two receptacles, wherein a bottom end of each of the receptacles is closed at a location spaced away from the top surface and the bottom surface of the deck;

a slot formed in the deck;

a mount having at least two legs and a plate;

wherein one of the at least two receptacles is located on each side of the slot;

wherein the plate is configured such that a propulsion motor can be attached to the mount by the plate;

wherein each of the at least two receptacles is configured to selectively and removably receive one of the at least two legs to support the mount and the propulsion motor;

wherein the at least two legs can be inserted into the at least two receptacles while the watercraft is in the water; and

wherein the plate is positioned within the mount such that when the propulsion motor is attached to the plate for propelling the watercraft a portion of the propulsion motor will extend through the slot.

14. The watercraft of claim 13 , wherein the at least two legs can be removed from the at least two receptacles without deforming the watercraft.

15. The watercraft of claim 13 , wherein the mount generally has a U shape.

16. The watercraft of claim 15 , further comprising a crossbar that extends between the at least two legs.

17. The watercraft of claim 15 , wherein the plate is connected to the U shaped mount and the crossbar.

18. The watercraft of claim 13 , further comprising a deck pad;

wherein the deck pad is recessed below a surface of the deck; and

wherein water on the deck pad can exit through the slot.

19. A watercraft comprising:

a deck with at least two receptacles;

a slot formed in the deck;

a mount having at least two legs and a plate, wherein the mount is an inverted U-shaped tubular structure;

wherein one of the at least two receptacles is located on each side of the slot;

wherein the plate is configured such that a propulsion motor can be attached to the mount by the plate;

wherein each of the at least two receptacles is configured to selectively and removably receive one of the at least two legs to support the mount and the propulsion motor; and

wherein the plate is positioned within the mount such that when the propulsion motor is attached to the plate for propelling the watercraft a portion of the propulsion motor will extend through the slot.

20. The watercraft of claim 19 , wherein a bottom of each of the least two legs does not extend through the bottom surface of the deck.

21. The watercraft of claim 19 , wherein each of the at least two receptacles are blind bores.
