The 2026 Bass Buggy 16 XL Select is a seven-passenger fishing pontoon built on an aluminum hull, powered by a single Mercury 50 hp four-stroke engine. This redesigned model combines traditional fishing-focused features with updated comfort amenities, making it well-suited for anglers and casual boaters alike.
The layout centers on fishing capability and functionality. Two folding fishing seats sit beneath a standard 7-foot bimini top, while the driver console includes a dedicated rod holder and phone compartments. The backrest cut-outs create an additional three cubic feet of storage space, and the design incorporates four cupholders throughout. A forward-facing seat sits in front of the driver console, and the pontoon accommodates seven passengers total.
Standard equipment includes a swim ladder and a stereo system. The boat comes with a 6-gallon gas tank and is paired with a custom Trail Star bunk trailer fitted with a bow boarding ladder. A 10-plus year warranty backs the purchase.
