A "Wide Flow" pump ala 6095 without being controllable? I think one would go nicely with my wavebox

you could probably just buy the shroud from the 6095 and put it in your wavebox. the shroud easily fits onto the 6055.

This is impossible at present as the non controllable pumps directional correction system requires that the prop hit the front housing if it spins backwards and stop tabs stop it and force it to reverse. For this reason the spacing of the prop and stop tabs is very precise and the housing has to have the cross tabs and it cannot be much wider than the propeller. On the electronic pumps the electronics control start up direction and that is why it is possible on these pumps. While it could be solved, it is a fairly major engineering hurdle that is further complicated by a lot of patents in the realm of directional correction systems for prop pumps.
