A high performance boat stabilized through the use of foam stabilizing members (12) is provided. The boat has a rigid, planing hull (10) including a transom (14), and a pair of curved sides (16) extending forward from the transom to form a bow. A bottom (18) is joined to the sides forming a chine (20). The foam stabilizing members (12) are mounted on the sides of the hull above the chine (20) and extend from the transom along the length of the boat. The sides of the boat also include an upper (52) and lower (54) Mange extending outwardly from the sides of the bo at adjacent to the upper and lower edges of the stabilizing members at the location where the stabilizing members attach to the sides of the hull. The lower Man ge (54) helps to ensure that water is not forced in between the sides of the boat an d the stabilizing members, thus preventing possible damage to the boat. Additionally, the stabilizing members are attached to the side of the hull without the use of holes extending from the exterior to the interior of the hull, thus preventing wat er from seeping into the hull.
