I know that what many small boats in "no wake" zones do, which is dropping the throttle just enough to come off plane and dig the stern in, throws up a much larger wake. But we are talking about a slow boat passing a slower boat here.
That pretty much leaves passing in a wide arc, so that the bulk of the wake is directed away from the passed vessel.
Is there another technique I'm not familiar with?

See my post. The key is for the boat being passed to slow down or take way off so that the passer can get by at minimum wake.
