2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built around a deep-V hull designed for stability and dry handling in varied water conditions. Powered by a single 300-horsepower Mercury engine, it cruises at 30 knots and planes quickly while remaining light enough to tow and launch easily. The shallow draft and beachable design let you reach sandbars and coves inaccessible to deeper-hulled boats.

The layout centers on an open bow with forward seating and an aft cockpit, maximizing usable space for fishing, diving, watersports, or casual cruising. An enclosed cuddy cabin option is available. A self-bailing cockpit keeps water clear, and a single head provides basic facilities.

This model combines commercial-grade aluminum construction with a responsive hull that handles chop without sacrificing comfort or fuel efficiency.
