Or you could do what I did. The 6'1" draft of my 38 was impractical for the Carolina Sounds, the ICW, and the Bahamas. So I called Mars Metals (who cast the original keels for most of our boats) and had them make me a torpedo bulb to replace the bottom 10" of keel.
For about $4k installed, I now have the draft of a J30 and can still point to under 30 degrees apparent. Plus PHRF gave me 3 seconds because of the presumed loss of performance.
