2026 Jasper Marine Defender 22

The Jasper Marine Defender 22 is a 27-foot aluminum runabout built for versatility across open water, lakes, and coastal conditions. Its deep-V hull design delivers a stable, dry ride through varied sea states, while the lightweight aluminum construction keeps the boat easy to tow and launch. A single 300 hp Mercury engine powers the boat to plane quickly and cruise at 30 knots.

The layout balances comfort with functionality. Forward seating is available in an open bow configuration or as an enclosed cuddy cabin option, with additional aft seating. A self-bailing cockpit and shallow draft allow the boat to beach or access shallow anchorages that deeper-hulled boats cannot reach. A single head is included.

The Defender 22 accommodates fishing, diving, watersports, and day cruising with equal ease. Its design prioritizes accessibility and usable deck space while maintaining the stability and performance needed for confidence in rougher conditions.
