Anyone want to share photos of what they use or what would be their ideal setup? Does anyone ever rent out their barge to other islanders?

At least a 24', and tritoon if you can find one without spending a fortune. Don't be shy on power, if you are loading it up go with a 115hp or bigger. A few years ago we had a 22' Sylvan tritoon with a 140hp Suzuki on it. Chris Collins on Bear bought it and uses it for his island work. I'd love to find another.
In a pinch, Shep Brown's has Marge the Barge for rent. Its a 30' tritoon, just a bench in the back and still has the railing around it. Its huge and holds a lot. We rented it last summer to bring out a 12x16' motorized aluminum pergola kit to Bear. They do half or full day rentals with it.
