Sun Tracker 16 Bass Buggy For Sale

The Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 16 is a compact aluminum fishing pontoon built around 24-inch diameter tubes, sold in XL, XL Select, and DLX (Deluxe) trims that share a 16-foot deck length. Because the motor sits on an extended pod off the transom, storage length runs longer than the deck figure, and the XL Select carries an overall length of 18.5 feet. The current eight-foot-wide DLX is rated for up to seven people and is light enough to tow easily — one rigged-out boat weighs roughly 3,000 pounds total with the trailer and gear, putting it within a typical SUV tow limit. It suits a single angler who wants a stable platform to handle alone, or a small family who needs room for a few adults and a couple of kids without stepping up to the Bass Buggy 18.

Power on the Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 16 starts with a standard 20-horsepower Mercury, with an optional 50-horsepower Mercury four-stroke that runs about a $1,400 upgrade and is the engine most buyers choose. With the 50, the boat has been GPS-clocked at a top speed of 23 mph and cruises comfortably at 16 to 18 mph. A solo run can reach about 20 mph trimmed correctly, while a full load of four adults and two kids brings cruising speed down to the 14-15 mph range. Fuel consumption is modest: a 6- to 7-hour day on the water, much of it trolling, burns roughly 4.5 to 5 gallons. The standard 6-gallon fuel tank is on the small side, and many owners add a second 6- or 12-gallon tank for longer outings.

The helm is deliberately simple, with a single tachometer gauge, a tap light, courtesy and navigation lights, and an aerator switch for the live well. The Select package adds a windshield, a Bluetooth stereo with two speakers, and a bimini top for about $995. A separate fishing package, priced around $1,500 to $1,600, brings a trolling motor and a Lowrance fish finder. The driver gets a swiveling, sliding bucket seat, and cup holders are fitted at the console and throughout the boat.

On deck, the Bass Buggy 16 carries removable, swiveling bass seats fore and aft, an aerated built-in live well under one of the rear seats, and rod and tool holders on both sides plus the bow. The woven, padded, non-skid floor replaces carpet and wipes clean quickly. The main storage sits under the passenger seating in a lined, boxed-in container with a drain channel meant to keep gear dry, while the battery hides under the rear bench. The entry gate uses a dual latching system that doubles as a child-safety feature and quiets gate rattle, and it is wide enough to roll a wheelchair through after removing one seat. A full-size ladder folds down at the rear, reaching close to the waterline for easy boarding.

Build quality centers on a boxed-in bow designed to absorb dock and trailer impacts, oversized tube-to-deck brackets, and the extended motor pod that shifts weight rearward to lift the nose and improve efficiency. Sun Tracker backs the deck, substructure, framing, and tubes with a lifetime warranty, and covers everything above the deck for 10 years, 100% parts and labor. Base pricing on the DLX starts at $10,995 plus freight and prep, while a well-equipped 2025 XL Select has been priced at $28,627; one owner reported paying around $25,000 out the door for a 50-horse boat with accessories.

If you're shopping a Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 16 for sale, weigh a few practical points owners flag. The factory radio sound is weak and is a common upgrade, the under-seat gutter drainage can drip into the storage area in heavy rain, and the 6-gallon tank often gets supplemented. The factory cover is well made, with two front pockets, a trolling-motor pouch, side vents, color-coded support poles (white to the front, black to the rear), a velcro seam that wraps the frame, and an internal stainless steel ratcheting strap for towing. Common owner-added parts include PWC-style trailer guides, rail-mounted rod holders, fender bumpers, and a skeg guard, most of which thread directly into the boat's railings or floor.
