The 2026 Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 16 XL Select is a seven-passenger fishing pontoon built on an aluminum hull, powered by a single 50 hp Mercury Marine engine. At 18 feet 5 inches long with an 8-foot beam, it's designed to deliver fishing capability with everyday usability.
The layout combines comfortable cruising with dedicated fishing features. Two folding fishing seats sit beneath a standard 7-foot bimini top, offering shade while casting. The driver console includes a rod holder and is accompanied by an additional forward-facing seat. Storage has been expanded with three extra cubic feet created through integrated backrest cutouts, while the cabin accommodates phone compartments and four cupholders throughout the design.
The 2026 redesign refreshes the classic Bass Buggy formula with a new console layout and updated lounge configuration. This model continues the lineage of the original fishing pontoon with enhanced styling and added amenities for a full day on the water.
