A group of us rented a 25' Sweetwater with a Yamaha 250 in the spring. It had a capacity of 16 but we only had 12. Had a great time and it had plenty of power although we didn't try water skiing.
There aren't too many boats that you are going to water ski off of with 12 people on board.
Probably the best thing to do is rent one for a couple days this fall to see how you like it.
