2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The 2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built for versatility across offshore, lake, and coastal environments. Its deep-V hull provides a stable, dry ride through varied conditions, while the lightweight aluminum construction keeps the boat easy to tow and launch. Powered by a single 300-horsepower Mercury engine, it planes quickly and cruises at 30 knots, handling chop with confidence and shallow draft that allows beaching and access to sandbars and remote coves.

The open-bow layout maximizes usable deck space with forward and aft seating arrangements suited to fishing, diving, watersports, and day cruising. An enclosed bow option with cuddy berth is available. The self-bailing cockpit adds practical functionality for active use on the water. A single head is included in the layout.

The boat combines commercial-grade construction with practical design elements that keep it accessible and maneuverable for a wide range of uses and user experience levels.
