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, this model combines a refreshed design with practical fishing-focused features throughout.
The layout centers on a redesigned driver console equipped with a rod holder, positioned to offer commanding sightlines across the water. A dedicated front passenger seat sits ahead of the console, while two folding fishing seats provide shaded casting positions beneath a standard 7-foot bimini top. Storage has been expanded with three additional cubic feet of capacity integrated into backrest cut-outs, and the design adds phone compartments and four new cupholders distributed across the boat.
The pontoon retains the purposeful fishing heritage of the original Bass Buggy platform while introducing refined aesthetics and enhanced onboard convenience. The combination of dedicated fishing positions, integrated storage, and operator-focused console design creates a capable platform for lake days.
