I need a hard bottomed boat for moving gear round a lake and only ever used the bic type boats before which arent ideal, i need something a bit bigger and been told the sniper in 8 or 10 ft would be ideal. Its looking like these are hard to get is there any other type of boat that might be suitable other than the bic, thanks.

Might be worth a look at Morton boats - https://www.fun-yak.co.uk/product-category/fun-yak-boats/ they might have something suitable.

Plastimo another brand to look out for, come up on eBay every now and then. An eBay search for fibreglass tender also brings up a few options old and new.

Snipers are a good boat - be mindful of any that have been repaired, once water gets into the foam they become damn heavy

they are quite rare tbh not that easy to find and i ended up with a funyak and its pretty decent, bigger than a sniper.
