Named-storm deductible and haul-out

A named-storm percentage is applied to hull value. Haul-out reimbursement is a separate sub-limit. A common published benchmark is 50% of labor up to $1,000.

No written storm plan is marked. Many hull forms treat a missing haul-out plan as a warranty condition. Read the navigation and named-storm wording before hurricane season. The combined figure is the deductible plus the unreimbursed haul-out. It is not a claim payment.
