This only hurts a little as I tried to insure for more (based on surveyors value) when I signed up.
On one hand I'm inclined to eat it as penance for my behavior that led to the loss.
One the other hand, is there a work around?

It would seem to depend on whether the insurance payout is more than the salvage buyback value. In that case you would at least net some cash. And it seems that the insurance payout MUST be more than the buyback cost, right? Otherwise the boat would be grossly underinsured, which maybe it is?
