I bought this exact boat, black not blue. Couldn't be happier. I have the 50hp. With me and my wife, we have no problem tubing. Fishing is easy from it. However, if u r gonna purchase one, order ahead. We ordered ours from cabellas on july 7th, 2020. The sales person told us it would take 6 to 8 weeks! However, he called me 2 days later and informed me that somebody ordered the same boat, but had bad credit. Long story short, that weekend we were out on the water. What I'm trying to say is, order ahead!!!
Congrats on your new Boat. Hope you have lots of smooth sailing ahead...well not "sailing" but you get what we mean! Thanks for watching
When the music came on I had to look when the video was posted. That's some 1980s nostalgia right there.
🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻 thanks for watching
That was a fantastic review. I wish every spokesperson would give a presentation like Matt did. He obviously knew his stuff and knows how to talk about the boat in the best manner possible. Great Job! I already own a bass boat and he had me wanting to go out an get one of these! lol! (Both gentlemen did a great job btw!)
Thanks I’ll let Matt know. It was great spending the day with him as we filmed a few reviews together. He knows his stuff and is passionate about the Tracker Brand. He’s invited us back to review some of the new Hummingbird and Lowrance Electronics and we can hardly wait to bring those to you. Thanks for watching
I just purchased a 1987 model 20' Sun Tracker Bass Buggy and even after 28 years it's still in very good solid condition, I looked at many other used pontoons before buying this one, these pontoons are built to last and I'm tickled pink with my 28 year old Bass Buggy....
Very nice! Congratulations. They are great Pontoon Boats. Thanks for watching
I'm extremely excited about this boat. What a fantastic bargain for a brand new name brand pontoon!!!!!
It’s a great entry level value. Go get one! Thanks for watching
We are picking up our bass buggy 16 xls, on july the 18th! I won't believe it until it's behind my truck!
That’s cool. Hope you have lots of great time fishing and chillin with friends and family on it this summer. Congratulations. Thanks for watching
I quickly bought one of these soon after this video. I even got it with the 50hp outboard! I know most of you prefer bass boats but I need room to move, to stretch out.. I have a bass boat that’s been parked since I bought this boat! I’m a lazy fisherman and this boat fits me to a T!!!
Lol...lazy or smart? I think you made a good choice. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching
How fast is it with the 50hp? not sure if you have checked it with phone apps.
@@104watcher no, haven’t checked it but if your thinking about buying one you won’t be disappointed.. I’m starting to see more and more on the lakes I fish..
Just bought the 2021 model and we pick it up Friday!! So absolutely happy with my purchase! We were able to get a select fo a xl price ! 18,200! All we have to do is put on the fish finder and trolling motor! Pontoons are flying off the shelf this year. COVID has shut down the plants. So dealers are not sure how long it will take to get them in. Sad but true!
Awesome! Congratulations on your new purchase. Go make some great memories! Thanks for watching
Thank you! Oh and I forgot to mention that we also got the 50hp motor! Yay!
Theresa Gray that’s a perfect upgrade. Great decision.
this is the most luxurious bass buggy I've ever seen! wow
It has just the right amount of stuff and its not too fancy that you wouldn't want to fish with it. Very well built too. Thanks for watching!
We are in the process of ordering this exact boat. It's take 8 weeks! Damn it!
They are in very high demand. The one that I reviewed on this video was actually pre-sold but the owner gave us a day to film before taking delivery of it. Thanks for watching
It actually came in a week later!
I could see myself relaxing on this for hours... wonderful! thank you for this great presentation!
Thanks for watching!
Great boat for the money! Opt for the larger motor.. I purchased the 2020 18 bass buggy dlx with the 75hp Mercury.. love it .
Thanks for sharing.
we bought one in Las Vegas and we truly love ours we upgraded to a 50 horse and we are so so happy with it!
That’s great to hear. I’d definitely have upgraded to the 50 hp too. Enjoy your new boat. Thanks for watching
@@TwoGuysandaRide We plan on it how fast do you think it will go with the 50Hp we dont want fast but a little get up and go:)
Thanks for the question. I would guess somewhere between 20-28 mph depending on wind conditions. Thanks for watching!
Bought one few years ago. Exact boat in the video. It’s worth every penny.
Awesome! Thanks for watching
Love the review. Going to discuss this boat to my wife tonight. Hopefully get it once I get off of deployment
Congratulations and thanks for your service. Thanks for watching
I ordered ours two weeks ago a 2021 the model in the video out the door a little over 18000 im very excited
That’s fantastic! We’re excited for you. Hope you have lots of fun out on the water. Enjoy! Thanks for watching
Did that price include the trailer? and the 50hp engine? Thanks!
I got mine 2 months ago. The first 2021 model in Missouri. I am still waiting on the cover though. When they say in this video that they don't make them their selves they mean it. They don't know when they will become available . When you take delivery, let me know if you get a cover. We love our boat. You will too.
Mine will be here tomorrow. Can't wait to get it on the water. Price is excellent for what you are getting. Hope to come back here shotrtlyand give a review.
Congratulations. Please do come back and share your review with our viewers. Thanks for watching
that couch on it looks more comfy than the one I got in my living room lol
It was very comfortable. Thanks for watching!
I was going to buy a new 18 foot pontoon boat back in 1997. But with everything that I wanted, it was going to cost around 15K.
The dealer showed me a new 1997 Maxum 1700SR 3.0LX inboard/outboard loaded for 10K.
I bought the Maxum and still have it today. Everything looks and runs good. Never had any issues with it. Will keep it until I stop enjoying it.
They are very well built and made for years of enjoyment. Hope you have many more years of enjoyment going forward. Thanks for watching
For all you asking (I just bought and took this boat today)... Same boat, +50hp, add the select package for the top, radio, and windshield... Trailer (without brakes), freight and delivery, ttl (Texas) $18,713.43 OTD. If you added the fish package as well it was $995 and add a cover for storage at $540 so fully decked would have been $20,200 TTL OTD.
Fantastic information to have, Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your new boat and thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide they shouldn't say $10,995 though, when you MUST pay the $1650 freight and delivery fee regardless. 😁
Jason McLaughlin what is the height when it is on the trailer? Want to buy one but it would have to be able to fit in my garage that has a height of 7’8”
@@daisydomergue9327 if you purchase the awning with it you are looking at 8 ft 5 in. If you do not do the cover and you don't have the windshield at the driver's helm you would be looking around 7 ft 8 in
Jason McLaughlin thanks for the info
I would love to have one for fishing and cruising!
It’s a fantastic deal on a great little entry-level pontoon. Thanks for watching
Me too😁seems fun.
Matt is a fantastic presenter. This is the best review.
He certainly knows his boats. Thanks for watching
I drive right by a field full of these every day where they build them in Bolivar, MO. I'm interested in checking one of these out in person!
They're a good little boat at a very good price. Thanks for watching
That’s awesome man me and my dad heading to Folsom this week on are new toon
Thanks for watching and enjoy your new pontoon!
How was the trip ?
Just finished our application. Hope we get it. Can't wait.
You’re going to love it! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching !
@@TwoGuysandaRide approved. Waiting for our 2021 in black fully optioned out.😏👍👍
Awesome! Share a picture with us on our Facebook page when you get the boat. We’d love to see it. Thanks for watching!
@@cjmaupin4 exactly the same boat we got 8 weeks ago. We love ours.
@Christopher what were the requirements when you got approved? How was your credit? Any down payment? How long did they tell you before you will have your boat?
a wonderful boat! feels like a fishing yacht haha
But not as big as a Yacht....much easier to maneuver! Thanks for watching!
This is an affordable boat! Even for me!
It’s a great boat and terrific buy. There’s a waiting list to get one so go order it now! Thanks for watching
@@TwoGuysandaRide I'm in California not Minn.
As a new Lake Resident ... I have been searching the new and USED Pontoon boat markets vigilantly - this TINY CRAFT is priced attractively ..... but, perhaps simply too small to be a Value in the Family / Friends boating most often the case in lake pleasure boating. A third Toon (TUBE) option would be helpful and add two or three more passenger buoyancy - also a 90 H.P. is needed for Raft pulling and getting around under load with expediency. Very nice option as a new purchase for the fewer customer market demographic for the limitations shown.
SunTracker does make bigger more powerful pontoon boats. This is their entry level starter boat. Thanks for watching
its funny that about ten years ago the BASS BUGGY 18 w/30 FourStroke NO HASSLE® National Price was
$10,795
Like everything, prices go up. Now you get a 16’ boat for nearly the same price. Same goes for buying a home, car, food groceries. Thanks for the comparison. Thanks for watching
Bought mine today!
Congratulations. Hope you have many years of enjoyment. Thanks for watching
Lucky
I love it ...I want this boat with the 50hp :)
Check out Suntrackerboats.com to configure yours and find a local Tracker Dealer. Thanks for watching
I think with everything and not really any upgrades but one ,with taxes etc it still ended up at like 20 grand
Can this be used on salt water ??
I have the 2017 and this one has everything I wish mine had
Hope you’re enjoying yours. It looks like a great little boat. Thanks for watching
Same here. I have a 2016 and wish I had the transom platform and ladder however the couch must have been shortened front to back to make room for it. The under deck side ladder on mine is useless because it's too short. I was on one at a local dealer and the fishing seat dont get in the way of opening the side door like mine.
@@pauls7751 They've really improved them. So much so that the wait time for getting one is a few months. Its a great boat and a very good value. Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide How many miles per gallon it gives ?
@@c19commander44 hard to answer. Depends on size of motor, water conditions, headwinds etc
hey you doing boat reviews now as well, that's awesome! love your channel!
We love Boats too. Stay tuned for Side-By-Sides coming soon. Thanks for watching!
this buggy is a beauty! I might pick up fishing again with this hehe
At only $10,995 you certainly could! Thanks for watching!
you will love it I love mine!
the deck area is huge!
16 ft by 8 ft useable deck space. Plenty of room for friends and fishing. Thanks for watching!
Really like this boat. Will the 50 be able to get a large person up on ski's?
Not sure. Best to check with your Tracker Boat Dealer. Thanks for watching
I have the 2017 model year and at best maybe a child under a 100 lbs could ski behind it , better off just pulling a tube
Is the plywood on the bottom of the deck coated in anything? If not, that is bare wood getting wet and possibly rotting away. Or is rot covered in the warranty?
Thanks for the question. All the plywood decking is marine grade plywood meaning it has been treated and the warranty does cover the plywood flooring. Thanks for watching!
the sport steering wheel looks so awesome!
All its missing are the Paddle Shifters :) Thanks for watching!
Omg I cant wait to go to lake plesent to go pontooning
Sounds like fun times. Thanks for watching
We have been looking for a pontoon boat for weeks and decided to go with a brand new one. I literally just ordered this exact pontoon with a few options today based off this review! I went back to watch this review again because I am so excited about it but one thing that is concerning me is when you showed the bottom part of the boat and how it is welded.. All I see is the plywood bottom. Is that going to be a problem down the road? I am now afraid the wood will rot out. Please let me know. Maybe this one wasn't exactly finished yet. Editing this question/comment to add... I just remembered there is a lifetime warranty so maybe it will be fine.
It’s Marine Grade Plywood and the warranty information listed at SunTrackerBoats.com list their warranty as: “10+LIFE™ Limited Lifetime Warranty”. I’d verify the exact coverage with your dealer directly so you can have better peace of mind.
As for the review, thank you so much! This is a great boat at a very good value and Matt did a great job listing all the great features. We’re always excited to hear how one of our reviews helped. Thanks for watching
An added side note from Nate . I have a pontoon that has a marine grade plywood floor. It has an welded aluminum frame much like the one your looking at. It’s 36 years old and the floor has never been replaced and other than some color fading in the carpet the floor is solid. I do keep my pontoon covered when I’m not using it. Hope that helps to reassure you with your purchase. It’s a great boat.! Happy boating and we’re thrilled that our video helped you with your decision!
Would it be possible to get it built with a different color interior? And possibly with the 50 horsepower engine? Really interested in this boat!
Check out Suntrackerboats.com to configure this boat to your liking. Thanks for watching
Looks great the problems I do see are the livewell is way to small and I dont really see a place to insert a bigger one. Also no trolling motor. I wish you would have explained how one could easily be mounted. The seating looks really comfortable and the price is great
Understood. Please understand we wanted to show the base model and the value it offers. Of course Tracker offers larger boats but this is a great entry level rig. Thanks for watching
@@TwoGuysandaRide understood and dont get me wrong, I'd love to own one
You can add a foot controlled trolling motor and color fish finder for 1510.00. 995.00 for the package and 520.00 for install fee.
ok i just got this. bass buggy 16 deluxe/ 50 hp. still want to know how much gas it takes to run it....came with a 6 gallon external tank . 3,000 rpm and a mix of fishing. am using trolling moter but still want to know how long I can use 6 gallons going on big lake. what can I expect. have not used it yet ... dont plan on 3,000 all the time.
Thanks for the question. To be honest I would recommend asking the dealer where you purchased the boat. But basically, Mercury rates the gas usage of the 50hp mercury outboard at 4.65 gallons per hour at wide open throttle. Since you won’t be at wide open throttle all the time, your gallons per hour should be better than that. Hope that helps, thanks for watching and don’t forget to hit that subscribe button!
Amazing spokesman! Would lights underneath the boat be an option under warranty as i do alot of night fishing?
I’d imagine that adding lights for night fishing wouldn’t void the boat’s warranty. Best to check with your local SunTracker dealer to be sure. Thanks for watching
let's go for a fish! 👑😀😍
LOL...I like that. Thanks for watching!
Can these boats be used in salt water bays or just fresh, does it matter to the engine or wood platform?
Not this particular Pontoon but their Coastal Series can be used in saltwater environments according to SunTracker Boats. Thanks for watching
www.suntrackerboats.com/pressroom/232-SUN-TRACKER-FISHIN-BARGE-21-COASTAL-SERIES.cfm
Do you have to pay for a trailer or does that come with for the base price?
Not everyone needs a trailer so that’s additional. Been told it ranges in price from $2500-3,000. Thanks for watching
Love this boat..., do you have an electrical motor option?.., if so, what would be the price difference?
They don't. It's built to meet a very good entry level price point so the only power available is either the 20 or 50 HP Mercury gas outboards. Thanks for watching
Wow..if only it was that price now...
Yeah, that be nice! Still an inexpensive pontoon though compared to other pontoons. Thanks for watching!
Yup....doubled in price....shame
@@garysansone2785all boats have doubled in price. Still one of the lowest priced pontoons on the market. Thanks for watching
Great affordable setup!
It’s a very good value. Thanks for watching
Great Presentation, I fish on a restricted lake (9.9 hp). Does this BB 16 offer that size motor?
It doesn’t but you could certainly use that one instead. Thanks for watching
Do Florida reviews...lake placid, Stuart, Melbourne. Ladies are buying pontoons too🙋🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️
I hear you! I’d love to come down to Florida for a review. Thanks for watching
Looks like a great boat for the price. But I do see the expose plywood on the under belly. Is any type of water proof under coating for that? Other than that it looks great!
It’s Marine Grade plywood and guaranteed for 10 years. Thanks for watching
All of them are like this
I am very seriously considering purchasing a used 2017 Bass Buggy 18 DLX from a private seller. How concerned should I be about the exposed marine-grade plywood underbelly since pontoon is already 5 years old? Is the Sun Tracker 10-year warranty on the marine-grade plywood only transferable when the pontoon is purchased from dealer? What would it cost to replace the plywood once it ultimately degraded? Finally, how long does it normally take to degrade in terms of hours or years. The motor on the used pontoon that I may purchase only has 160 hours on it. Thanks!!
Great looking boat, the price is unbelievable.
It’s gone up some since we filmed that review (Jan ‘20) but it’s still a great value. Thanks for watching
@@TwoGuysandaRide some? Looks like it doubled, no? You said 11k in the video and now it’s 20k with the 50. Even with the 20hp it’s now 18k so this increase is absurd.
@@pryme2013 Im not disagreeing with you. The video was filmed 2 years ago and the price was much less then. The the "some" comment was posted (1 year ago) the boat was 16995
@@TwoGuysandaRide Never in history have prices jumped that fast and that high of a percentage. Part may be due to having to pay a higher wage to get warm bodies into the factories because so many people grew accustomed to sitting at home and collecting a “free” check but it’s also a big trickle down of greed. It’s unfortunate.
Can I put a Merc 450R on the back??? (Kidding) What is the max motor size the frame is rated for???
Frankly I think a 7.4 liter Power stroke Diesel would be fun, but SunTracker recommends only up to 50hp. Thanks for watching
Is it life time warranty on that plywood flooring against rot?????🤔🤔🤔
I’m assuming so. He said it. Find out for sure on their website. Thanks for watching
Sounds great.
thanks
What is the weight of the boat and trailer (looking at the weight restrictions on the tow vehicle)?
Package weight of the pontoon is 2530#. Check with your local dealer about the weight of the trailer.
Impressive warranty
Sure is, thanks for watching!
Very nice pontoon. Where is the in floor storage door that was shown in the video a few times?
This video was filmed in Feb 202. Im guessing they've changed the design since then
@@TwoGuysandaRide I don't think the bass buggy has had a floor storage in them. Maybe older ones did. So that's why I was curious how that floor storage door got into the video when the boat this man was showing didn't have that storage area. The current models don't either. No big deal just curious.Thanks for your reply and videos.
whats with the wood underneath??? 4:18 is it protected for water? any treatment? why wood? salt water will destroy it in months!
Thanks for the question. The wood underneath is pressure treated and does very well in fresh water. This boat is selling in an area that does not have salt water. Pressure treated lumber can be used in salt water but has a different lbs. of chemical treatment per cubic ft. than wood used in fresh water. So would be best to verify the specific treatment of the wood with the dealership prior to using in salt water. In fresh water states, wood decking is very common. I have wood decking (pressure treated) on my pontoon which I use in fresh water. The deck is now 33 years old and looks as good as new. Thanks for watching!
Does drilling holes to put transducer my self effects warranty?
That is a good question but not one we can answer. I would recommend contacting the dealership where the boat was purchased, or contact Tracker boats online and ask them. Thanks for watching!
what kind of speeds are we looking at with the 25 and the 50? is it even worth it to take the base 25? just asking due to lack of experience
the 25 HP is the base engine and will allow you to troll along nicely. If you are interested in pulling someone on a tube then I'd suggest you go for the 50 HP. Neither motor will fling this pontoon across the water, but for just a bit more, you can choose more power from the start? Thanks for watching
Mine tops out at 23 mph with 2 adults and full fuel. It will do about 17 or 18 with 4 adults and 3 children.
Mine run around 22mph with 50 go. Two adults one child.
At 228 it shows a trap door in floor what is that for just curious as I have ordered a 2021 XL select and can't wait for spring
That's a small underfloor storage area. Congratulations on your new Boat. Thanks for watching!
Don't think I can have my buddies fishing on my boat for a few years.Boat is to nice.a few beers I probably allow fishing.lol
Yeah its a nice boat, but you gotta kick back and enjoy it too...besides, you can hose it down when your done with a day of fishing. Thanks for watching
### This Video was filmed in Jan 2020. Pricing stated in the video was current at that time. ###
.
Any idea what the timeline is from ordering to getting a boat since none are in stock?
Depending on where you live as I understand it it could be 3 to 4 months
The set-up as seen is probably a touch over $17,000. Still a good deal IMO.
Agreed. A very good deal. Thanks for watching
With 50hp $17,335+ttl $18,743. (Bought and picked up today)
I bought mine 6 months ago for $17,200 out the door. It is now priced at $18,225. I saw one place asking $19,200.
Trailer is not included. Now in 2023 this setup is $23.500

Im sure its available from Tracker or aftermarket. Thanks for watching
I am looking for a full enclosure canvas for it right now I want to camp on a lot of rivers in Missouri. I have been waiting for two months for the mooring cover I bought though. I cant imagine how long a wait is right now for a full enclosure. I will probably pitch a tent on it soon though.
So what would the cost be to upgrade a 2017 model with a rear boarding ladder and captains chair, I would think a lot less than trading in for a new one
Not sure if you can do that. Best would be to contact your local Tracker Boat dealer. Thanks for watching
im looking to buy one here in the next week or so. with that being said, i noticed that there is exposed plywood underneath...any way to waterproof that? seems like a big deal because the only way to replace that, would be to rip up the floor.. any ideas?
If it isn’t already Marine grade plywood I’d imagine that you could spray it with waterproof sealant. Thanks for watching
If sealed on top dont seal the bottom
Not to bust a bubble here, but that boat out the door is over $21,000. Failed to mention $2,095 for the trailer, $1,650 for deliver and prep, plus all the taxes and fees. Still a good deal but not the extreme deal presented. They all selling like hot cakes in Florida: no one has them in stock.
Thanks for the information. Not everyone buys a trailer so he didn't quote that added cost. Delivery and prep varies too. But like you said its still a solid deal and even here in Minnesota they are working hard to keep them in stock. Thanks for the feedback!

Two Guys and a Ride will a 25hp push it ok?
Two Guys and a Ride I don’t know one of the reasons I love bass tracker/tracker is because they sell a ready to fish product with a Minnkota
Yes
The "fishing package" is an option package with a trolling motor and fish finder. I learned about it when I was talking to a salesman the other day.
I'm looking myself to get one that size for fishing and cruising myself.
You should definitely check out Suntrackerboats.com or visit your local Tracker Boat Dealer. It’s a great entry-level pontoon. Thanks for watching
Having owned 3 pontoon boats of different sizes, I would recommend at least a 20 foot minimum length and 50 hp motor minimum. Anything smaller and you will bob around like a cork.
Thanks for watching
Not true. I own this boat. It is fine.
Depends.
this is so great. pricing is so good . We need this in europe. Here a similar size pontoon costs 17 000-19 000 € without engine and the quality is poor. european brands like rebel and smartliner

This is the size I need. But it needs more than 6 gallons of gas.
I agree, I’d be a little nervous about how much gas I had if I only had 6.6 gallons. What I do to solve that problem on my pontoon is carry another 6 gallon tank so I can switch tanks if needed. Plenty of room on the back for an extra tank or two. Thanks for watching!

Can you ship to Cleveland, Ohio?
Thanks for the question. We are not a dealer, we just film at the dealerships, but you can contact them directly, using the contact info in the description below the video. Thanks for watching!
The floor storage door at 2.29 minutes is false. I have this model and it does not have this storage. Also the front of the trailer bar by the steps that touches the boat frame gets crooked to the left over time and not even.

If the deck wasn't wood. That's the ONLY downfall to the Tracker pontoon boats.
I can see that too, but it is covered for 10 years. Thanks for watching
Can you tell me the weight for boat an trailer?

How much would the boat slip cost monthly?
No idea about boat slip. Check your dealer and marina. Thanks for watching
Was that plywood exposed to water under the deck?
Yes it is. It is treated marine grade plywood and it has a lifetime warranty . I have exposed treated plywood on my pontoon, it’s all original from date of manufacturing and it’s as solid today as it was 31 years ago, no rot, no soft spots or mold. I do keep my pontoon covered when I’m not at my cabin so I’m sure that helps. Thanks for watching!

Thought the plywood had a 10 year warranty.
Not lifetime.
Plywood is lifetime not 10 year. I just bought one.

How do I put on the cover? I can't find any help for this anywhere.
Thanks for the question. I'm assuming you purchased the cover from Tracker, if not this first answer may not apply. The cover that comes from tracker should have an elastic band that you stretch over the walls and under the perimeter of the boat floor. There may be some ratchet type ropes included, and I believe those would go underneath the tarp first for support. If the ratchet type ropes were not included you may have got some aluminium poles that adjust in length-and your tarp would have three holes in it, that the tip of the poles go into (tallest pole goes in the middle- the other poles should be shorter than middle pole). These give your tarp a Tent like structure and allows water (hopefully) to flow right off the tarp back into the water (they are a pain if they fill with water). I also could not find any information online on it, so called a dealer and this is what they said. Now, in case yours is not from tracker, then typically they either work the same way, or some install snaps on the outside and use the same aluminium poles I described earlier. Just FYI, on my pontoon, I had snaps installed and a custom cover made which fits the boat perfectly and keeps all the water out, in case your cover does not work well keeping water out. Hope this helps and gives you a few extra ideas, thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuysandaRide thank you so much!
