The Ballistic prop you have is designed to lift the bow. That's why it feels like it's slow to plane. Not really what you want on a SeaCraft, although once on plane it probably moves pretty well.
The Solas Titan may be a good match, its a bigger blade with moderate rake and cup. They list it as a high power prop, so I'm not sold on it for a 115, but maybe. I think 13-3/4 x 15 might be a better bet, but I really don't know as I haven't used any Solas products. Just make sure its the regular Titan. The HR Titan is a bow-lifter. The Trophy Plus in the given config sounds good, too. PowerTech MQF3 series in a 13-3/4 x 15 or a 13-1/2 x 17p might be a fine choice too. Before you spend a bunch of money on SS, I urge you to go borrow a 13-3/4 x 15 Mercury/Quicksilver Black Max /Black Diamond from a local boat/prop shop and see how it feels. Very similar to above listed three blades and some elements of the Trophy Plus.

I would also like to be able to plane @ a lower speed in rough water and don't mind sacrificing a little top end to achieve . I looked in the Mercury wesite and found the Black Max but there is no listing of a Black Diamond.

Quicksilver brands are sold through retail outlets, independent dealers, etc. Quicksilver is an OEM, and a Mercury company. Their products are identical to the Mercury brand other then the name/part number. Big blades and or 4 blades will help you achieve you low plane in rough water goal, as will trim tabs. In addition to the Trophy Plus, Merc/QS offers a four blade aluminum version called the Alpha 4; PowerTech has a MQF4, and a semi-cleaver like Yamaha's own called the SCD4. Good luck
