This rope is likely strong enough, but generally our customers use braided ropes because they don't twist and hockle quite as easily. It also depends on the size of the boat of course. Most regular runabouts use 1/2" mooring lines, but if this is a larger boat, then a larger rope may be required. A rope like 3/4" Nylon Double Braid might be a good choice. Nylon has tremendous elasticity, but because it's a double braid, it will be more difficult to splice for novice users. Ultimately we have no way to know what load your rope will see, how strong the hurricane might be, etc.
