Looking at a canoe to purchase and the seller claims the hull is royalex/oltonar. Manufacturer is Gazelle, with which my research shows they only made fiberglass boats. Can anyone help me out?

Is it local - can you just go look at it? Hard to tell from the pics. Inside looks pretty smooth. My guess is it's a poly hull.
