I have heard that many twin engine boats handle very poorly if one engine becomes inoperable. How does the Fleming 55 do in these circumstances?

The Fleming 55 is exceptional in this regard. While many twin engine boats need almost all of the available rudder deflection to travel in a straight line when running on one engine, the Fleming 55 requires less than one third of the available deflection, so it still has a tremendous amount of reserve rudder to handle adverse wind or sea conditions.
