The topic of draft reduction on the external-lead keel on the later Ericson-constructed boats comes up regularly on this site.
I was doing a bit of 'net research and found the above link detailing the torpedo bulb conversion on an Islander 36. The pictures are helpful.
Mars Metals has done something similar for at least one E-38 that I have read about.
Nice photos of the assembly of the two parts, IMHO.
FYI...
