The 2026 Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 16 XL Select is an 18-foot aluminum fishing pontoon powered by a single 50-horsepower Mercury Marine engine. Built to accommodate seven passengers, it combines fishing functionality with practical onboard comfort in a redesigned package that updates the original Bass Buggy concept.
The layout centers on fishing versatility. Two folding fishing seats offer casting positions beneath a standard 7-foot bimini top. The driver console includes a dedicated rod holder and is paired with a new lounge design. Storage is enhanced through backrest cutouts that add three cubic feet of space, while the cabin features phone compartments and four cupholders distributed throughout. An additional seat forward of the driver console rounds out the seating arrangement.
The pontoon's 8-foot beam provides a stable platform, and the overall design reflects a modern update to the classic Bass Buggy fishing pontoon formula, retaining the core purpose while adding contemporary convenience and equipment options.
