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 conditions. Powered by a single 300 hp Mercury engine, it cruises at 30 knots and planes quickly enough to handle chop while remaining light enough to tow and launch easily. The shallow draft and beachable hull allow access to waters and landing spots beyond the reach of deeper-keeled boats.

The open bow layout prioritizes usable space with forward and aft seating areas suited to fishing, diving, watersports, and day cruising. An enclosed cuddy cabin option with berth is available for those wanting additional shelter. The self-bailing cockpit supports extended time on the water across different applications.

At 8.5 feet in beam, the boat balances stability with trailering practicality. One head is included. The Defender 22 combines commercial-grade construction principles with recreational versatility, offering flexibility in configuration to match owner priorities.
