Research 2011 - Sun Tracker - Bass Buggy 18

Our original SUN TRACKER BASS BUGGY was the industry’s first family fishing pontoon boat—way back in 1983. And it’s still a classic today. Each year we keep improving and adapting it to the wants and needs of America’s families everywhere.

For 2011, we've concentrated on ADDED VALUE and NEW FEATURES—still with an emphasis on ease of ownership. For instance, this year, we added a flip-flop seatback on the midship passenger seat so you can sit forward or backward as you cruise. And we've added closed, rotomolded storage under all the couches.

The practical, no-nonsense layout is perfect for families who simply want a basic, easy-to-maneuver, easy-to-own pontoon. There’s ample room for a crew of eight, and if your family is serious about fishing, a deep aerated livewell comes standard for 2011. The optional Fish Package adds a bow-mounted trolling motor with wireless remote and a fishfinder.

The BASS BUGGY 18 Classic Series lets your family have fun like they’ve never had fun before. Let the good times begin!
