2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built for versatility across fresh and salt water. Its deep-V hull delivers a stable, dry ride in varied conditions, while the shallow draft and beachable design let you access shallow water, sandbars, and remote coves. The lightweight aluminum construction keeps the boat easy to tow and launch, and a single 300-horsepower Mercury engine powers it to plane quickly with a cruising speed of 30 knots.

The layout prioritizes usable space with open bow seating forward and aft cockpit seating, suited equally to fishing, diving, watersports, or day cruising. A self-bailing cockpit and one head complete the practical setup. Forward seating can remain open or be configured with an enclosed cuddy berth, and the design adapts to whatever the water demands—from chasing fish to family outings to running to remote locations.
