No, motor height will not affect porpoising very much. Need to correct CG to fix that, although more stern lift will help. (trim tabs, 4B prop and an AV plate fin) The Armstrong bracket also doesn't have as much flotation as a Hermco, so check to see if it'll self bail at the dock with scupper plugs out.
I think the 115 is a bit lighter than a 150 so that helps some but I suspect it would be better balanced with an even lighter 2-stroke.
