I used to do the same with my 18 foot Alumaweld, but I would consider getting a 150 rather than a 115, if you go to an 18 or bigger sled you will need the extra HP. I had a 115 yamaha on my sled and always was wishing I had a 150, it was great with the prop on, but when you installed the jet, it was underpowered as far as I was concerned.

By the way, I hope you get along with your in-laws...LOL.
