The old style dominator was one of my favorite boats to own and drive. You can easily get it on plane without stressing the drives by burying the sticks. Mine never liked full trim, it would start to chine walk if it was fully trimmed at WOT. If you find some chine walk at WOT just slightly bump the trim down and it smooths out. It cruised around 40 at 2700 rpm and that was the sweet spot for fuel economy. It won't take you long to get the feel for the boat. Very fun boat to drive.

very nice !
