I have essentially the same boat. A '94 29 Open. I think mine handles great, but I also have years of experience with single I/O's out outboards which are significantly worst in wind and current.
I always use my engines for close quarters manuvering. With the wide spread between the props it handles great both forward and reverse.
One trick when dealing with wind or currents is to bump the RPMS up a little. My trans are rated for shifting up to 1K RPM. My low idle is around 600-650. Bumping the RPMS to around 800 helps tremendously. Once the trans is engaged don't be afraid to use more throttle if necessary to help maneuver.
With a little practice I'm sure you'll be a pro in no time.
