I do not know of any commercial designs that match this canoe. It may have been scaled up or down from a known design. The construction seems to be "amateurish" with a poor job done on filling and sanding of the epoxy or polyester (whatever was used). These facts were better revealed after touch-ups to the photos using Microsoft Photo Editor.

If your friend is seeking to place a market value on this canoe, it is worth whatever someone will be willing to pay for it.
