1. A kayak comprising:
a substantially rigid body having a deck side and a hull side;
an interface for mounting a foot-driven propulsion mechanism to the substantially rigid body, the interface including a first portion near to the deck side of the kayak, wherein the interface and the substantially rigid body of the kayak are formed by different plastic molding processes;
a well extending through the deck side and the hull side, the well being sized and shaped for receiving therein at least a portion of the foot-driven propulsion mechanism and for removably securing the foot-driven propulsion mechanism; and
a fastener configured to couple the interface to the kayak.
