Use the keelboat from the DMG. It's a pretty close approximation of a barge.

This query might be better placed in another thread.

Acording to the Arms & Equipment Guide, a barge has a poled speed of 5 ft. or can be drawn from shore (by horses).

And, yes, why is this in Pathfinder?

The Rhennee take their barges across the Nyr Dyv and other large inland lakes, though, so I think their barges are more akin to a keelboat than the barge in the Arms and Equipment guide. They've got sails and oars, but a shallow draft so that they can be poled through the channels of the Gnatmarsh, and whatnot as well.
