There are many types of canoes and many different materials. An aluminum canoe, reasonably well treated, can last many years. I have seen models from the 1960s still in use. Fiberglas boats are slightly more subject to sun damage and growth of icky stuff when poorly stored, and 10 years or so is a typical limit unless they are very carefully stored. Wood strip boats must be stored very carefully and will (because of that care) last a very long time; without good storage you might only get a couple of years.
