Don't know if this is what you are looking for but it might help.  It could be made up or down depending on how large you need it to be.

I just built one freehand out of 2mm plasticard to suit the tugs that would use it and half filled it with concrete.
It did take a good hammering and is still in use today, some 10 yrs after being built.

It looks something like Blusy's but is different. This one is 4 foot. I have made plans for a 6 foot one too. It can be used for rip rap, palce crew quartes on it, or build an operating crane on it.

Here's a general arrangement for a tank barge. It can be broken into three pieces for transportation. You can also leave out the middle section for a shorter barge.

Have a squint at my page at www.badbillsboatyard.co.uk theres some decent pics of whats being towed around the clubs, from drilling platforms to flat-top barges, I would advise to steer clear of the 'lighter' type as the tow like a pig though!
