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 a dry ride across a range of conditions. Lightweight construction keeps the boat easy to tow and launch, while shallow draft and a beachable design let you access shallow waters and sandbars. A single 300-horsepower Mercury engine powers the boat to plane quickly, with a cruising speed of 30 knots.

The layout prioritizes usable space and flexibility. Forward seating is available in an open bow configuration or as an enclosed cuddy cabin option with a berth. The aft cockpit includes a self-bailing design and remains accessible for fishing, diving, watersports, or day cruising. A head is included in the layout.

The Defender 22 is engineered for both performance and practicality, handling chop with stability while remaining straightforward to operate and maintain. The versatile design adapts equally to fishing trips, family outings, or water sports use.
