The 2025 Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 22 DLX is the largest and most capable boat in the Bass Buggy series. It bridges the gap between a dedicated fishing platform and a family day-cruiser, delivering features that satisfy both roles without compromise.
Size & Stability
The 22-foot length and the standard triple-tube pontoon configuration give the 22 DLX a notably stable, confident platform. The wider beam accommodates more seating and a bigger casting area forward. Even with a full load of six to eight passengers, the boat tracks true and sits level.
Engine Options
Sun Tracker rates the 22 DLX for up to 90 hp—enough to pull an adult water-skier or achieve top speeds in the mid-20-mph range on calm water. The recommended pairing is a 75–90 hp Mercury FourStroke, which provides strong midrange torque and excellent fuel efficiency in the 3,000–4,000 RPM cruise band.
Fishing Configuration
Two large aerated livewells, six built-in rod holders, and a roomy bow casting area cater directly to serious bass anglers. The optional trolling motor prep (bow-mounted 24V system) and fishfinder console keep navigation and fish-finding electronics tidy and accessible.
Comfort & Amenities
The 22 DLX adds a larger Bimini top, additional under-seat storage compartments, and an upgraded stereo-ready console over base trims. The seats are well-bolstered and the furniture layout encourages both fishing mode and lounge mode interchangeably.
Bottom Line
The 2025 Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 22 DLX is a polished, high-value pontoon that excels as both a fishing platform and a family boat. If you fish hard on weekdays and entertain on weekends, this is the model to buy.
