Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 18 For Sale

The Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 18 is a two-tube aluminum pontoon boat built for fishing-focused families, and the version most often sold is the Bass Buggy 18 DLX. It rides on two pontoons rather than a tritoon, runs an 18-foot deck finished in a vinyl rubber flooring that hoses off easily instead of carpet, and carries safety side panels all the way around with corner cleats at the bow and stern. Power options on the boats that come up for sale range from a 20-horsepower Mercury four-stroke, chosen for horsepower-restricted lakes, up to a 75-horsepower Mercury four-stroke. That spread makes the Bass Buggy 18 pontoon boat suitable for both small electric-limited waters and larger open lakes.

With the 75-horsepower Mercury four-stroke, the Bass Buggy 18 DLX top speed reaches about 23 mph on GPS, with a comfortable cruise around 20 mph. The four-stroke engine runs quietly and smoothly, and on a low-hour example it logged just 16.8 hours. A standard aluminum prop is easy to ding on rocks, so some boats are fitted with a stainless steel prop and a polyethylene hydrofoil that lifts the transom; the hull actually tracks better run fairly flat. Trim adjustment lets you raise the bow into chop. Fuel comes from an inboard tank, listed at roughly 31 gallons on the 2023 DLX, which gives long range behind the economical four-stroke.

The helm uses a simplified dash with just two gauges, a tachometer and a fuel gauge, plus rocker switches for the horn, navigation and anchor lights, courtesy lights, and the aerator, along with a kill switch and forward-reverse throttle control. A swivel captain's chair sits at the console, and electronics seen on these boats include a Humminbird Helix depth finder and GPS, a Kicker Bluetooth stereo on the 2023 model and a Wet Sound stereo on the 2026, both audible over the running engine. Owners frequently add a Minn Kota i-Pilot 12-volt, 55-pound-thrust trolling motor with spot lock; the boat is pre-wired forward for a trolling motor battery, with the cranking battery housed aft.

The layout puts two detachable, swiveling fishing seats in the bow over dry storage, a forward live well under the console seat, and a rear fishing seat with an aft live well, all fed by an aerator pump that can run one or both live wells. On the 2026 DLX the rear seating is an L-shaped couch with seven cup holders in the backrest and storage underneath. A side door, described as wheelchair accessible, opens for dock or shore access, and the entry gate has a cutout so a transom-mounted trolling motor clears underneath. The Bimini top runs about nine feet long and comes with a fitted cover. Because the bow and rear seats lift out, owners often swap them for coolers, a grill, or replacement seats to reconfigure the deck.

A Bass Buggy 18 DLX for sale typically comes with a single-axle trailer with 14-inch wheels, a seven-pin connector, a transom saver and a winch; surge brakes and a full-size spare are available, and the deck is built on marine-grade plywood with aluminum plating and backed by a 10-year warranty. The 2023 boats wore a 40th anniversary badge in indigo blue. Points to weigh when buying: the dash carries only two gauges, the console storage is shallow enough that phones slide around, and the tall pontoon profile catches wind, so a modest trolling motor will move the boat but won't reliably hold a point in a breeze.
