The 2026 Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 16 XL Select is an 18-foot aluminum fishing pontoon built to accommodate seven passengers. Powered by a single 50-horsepower Mercury Marine engine, it combines the heritage of the original fishing pontoon design with a comprehensive refresh that brings modern functionality and thoughtful storage solutions.
The boat features a redesigned console and lounge layout with a new forward-facing seat positioned ahead of the driver console. Three additional cubic feet of storage space is integrated into clever backrest cut-outs. The driver console is equipped with its own rod holder and includes phone compartments. Four additional cupholders are distributed throughout the seating area, alongside two folding fishing seats that operate in the shade of a standard 7-foot bimini top.
At 8 feet in beam, the pontoon offers stability and usable deck space for anglers and passengers. The layout prioritizes both comfort and fishing functionality, with dedicated storage and rod management integrated into the overall design.
