There's a reason the BASS BUGGY® 18 DLX is the best-selling pontoon in our lineup. The 2025 model further proves the reason, offering an exciting balance of features, space, and affordability. Its easy-to-tow 20' overall length makes it easy to get to the lake and set sail. With plenty of space for up to 8 passengers and plenty of angler-ready features, this pontoon boat is ready for your next fishing trip. Keep your bait and catches in the fore and aft aerated livewells. Take a seat in one of the 4 removable and foldable fishing chairs. The rail-mounted rod and tool holders keep everything you need within reach.
If today's about relaxing with the family, turn on some tunes with the Bluetooth®-compatible Wet Sounds® stereo with 2 upholstery speakers, extend the 9' QuickLift® bimini top, and relax on the L-shaped lounge. Get to the water through one of the 3 gates, including the wheelchair-accessible port gate. The aft boarding platform's telescoping ladder makes it easy for the kids to get back on the boat for their next cannonball.
The BASS BUGGY® 18 DLX comes standard with a 40hp Mercury® ELPT FourStroke outboard motor and has a recommended maximum 75hp rating.
