Hey Bill
You probably already know this but the smaller boats generally do better for this area; big boats with big beams are best for big wakes but they have to be travelling faster to accomplish it. Best boat I know of for slower speeds/nice wake are the direct drive air nautiques due to their smaller size and skinnier beam. Not great for rougher water, or filling with people but they make for a beautifully formed lip for skating behind at the lower speeds...
I think you may have to compromise though and go bigger - there's no way you'll get more than like 3-4 bikini models in one of those smaller direct drives. ;)
