2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built on a deep-V hull designed for stability and a dry ride across varied water conditions. Lightweight construction keeps the boat easy to tow and launch, while shallow draft and a beachable design allow access to shallow waters, sandbars, and protected coves unavailable to deeper-draft boats.

The layout prioritizes open, usable space with forward seating in the bow area and additional seating aft. A self-bailing cockpit keeps the boat dry during active use. The open bow design accommodates fishing, watersports, diving, or casual cruising, with an enclosed cuddy cabin option available as well.

Power comes from a single 400-horsepower Mercury gasoline engine, delivering quick planing and responsive handling in chop. The boat cruises at 30 knots and is sized for single-hand operation or family outings. A head is provided for onboard convenience.
