The 2026 Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 16 XL Select is a seven-passenger fishing pontoon built on an aluminum hull with a single 50-horsepower Mercury engine. The boat measures 11 feet 1 inch in length with an 8-foot 6-inch beam and features 24-inch-diameter high-buoyancy multichambered pontoon logs with full-length longitudinal M-bracket deck supports and heavy-duty extruded Z-bar reinforcement. The extended motor pod is all-welded aluminum, and the transom is constructed from aluminum box-beam for structural strength.
The interior layout centers on a wraparound tinted windscreen and redesigned console with a vertical rod holder, integrated storage, and side-mounted controls. The helm features a 4:2 ratio steering system with a sport steering wheel and an adjustable swiveling bucket seat. Two removable folding fishing chairs with heavy-duty pedestals are positioned for casting, while the forward console seat includes molded grab handles and below-cushion livewell access. Aft L-lounge couches provide additional seating with underseat storage. A 9-gallon aerated forward livewell includes a shutoff valve. The console accommodates a Wet Sounds stereo with Bluetooth and two 6.5-inch speakers integrated into the seat bases.
Standard equipment includes a 7-foot black polyester Bimini top with easy-adjusting straps and a manual deployment system. A wraparound tinted windscreen, integrated LED navigation and anchor lights, four stainless steel mooring cleats, and motor-stop safety lanyard are fitted. The boat features fore and rear boarding platforms with a wider rear four-step telescoping boarding ladder and grab rails. Below-console storage with a curtain, illuminated tachometer, rocker switches, and a 12-volt outlet complete the setup. The pressure-treated three-quarter-inch deck carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty, as does the structural warranty on the aluminum construction. The boat comes NMMA certified and includes a 10-year bow-to-stern warranty plus limited lifetime structural and deck coverage.
