The 2026 Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 16 XL Select is an aluminum fishing pontoon with a newly redesigned profile that builds on the boat's heritage as the original pontoon built specifically for anglers. Measuring 18.42 feet in length with an 8-foot beam, it accommodates seven passengers and runs on a single 50-horsepower Mercury Marine engine.
The layout centers around fishing functionality. Two folding fishing seats provide casting platforms positioned under the standard 7-foot bimini top, while the driver console includes its own rod holder and full instrumentation. The redesigned console and lounge seating have been refined for 2026, with new styling and additional storage carved into backrest cut-outs that add three cubic feet of capacity. A forward-facing seat sits ahead of the driver console, and phone compartments are integrated throughout the layout.
Amenities reflect modern boating expectations: four additional cupholders have been added to the design, and storage solutions are distributed across the deck to keep gear organized.
