2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built for varied water conditions and uses. Its deep-V hull design delivers a stable, dry ride across offshore waters, lakes, and coastal routes. The boat planes quickly and handles chop with ease, while its shallow draft and beachable hull allow access to shallow waters and sandbars unreachable by conventional boats.

The open-bow layout prioritizes usable deck space with forward and aft seating arranged for comfort and accessibility. An enclosed cuddy cabin option with berth is available for those wanting sleeping quarters. The self-bailing cockpit keeps the boat dry during active use, and the configuration adapts readily to fishing, diving, watersports, or day cruising.

Power comes from two Mercury engines totaling 450 horsepower, delivering a cruising speed of 30 knots. The aluminum construction keeps weight down, making the boat easy to tow, launch, and store. Joystick control is available for enhanced handling.
