I would keep the 115. Here are a few things to consider.
1. Is your boat rated for a 150?
2. The transoms on older glass boats were generally not reinforced very well and it might weigh too much.
3. How much extra gas are you willing to burn for a few extra mph?
4. You would need to re-prop the 150 to work with your boat.
5. Most likely the cables, oil reservoir and electrical will not match up and would need to be switched as well. Shift and throttle cables tend to imprint in the position they have been used in. After moving they most likely will seize up shortly and need replacement too.
6. The gauges on the dash could cause a problem also.
These are some of the issues you most likely will have to address if you swap motors.
