2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built around a deep-V hull design engineered for stability and a dry ride across varied water conditions. Powered by a single 300-horsepower Mercury engine, the boat cruises at 30 knots and planes quickly while remaining light enough to tow and launch from a trailer. The shallow draft and beachable hull allow access to sandbars, coves, and beaches unreachable by deeper-drafted vessels.

The open bow layout prioritizes usable space and flexibility. Forward seating can be configured as an open arrangement or an enclosed cuddy cabin option, while the aft cockpit provides additional seating. A self-bailing design keeps the cockpit dry, and a single head is included. The design accommodates fishing, diving, watersports, and casual day cruising with equal practicality.

Built with commercial-grade aluminum construction, the Defender 22 balances ruggedness with easy transport and storage. The boat's versatile layout and shallow draft make it suited to a broad range of activities and water conditions, from inland lakes to coastal environments.
