that one's always been tricky, since a sea-wolf is not an animal type. 
i guess the way to do it would be to make a separate, similar template to the standard lycanthrope template. since you wouldn't be basing the stats on any existing animal type, the rules would be a bit different.

Found the 2E stats here: http://www.planetadnd.com/interactive_books/mm00192.php
So I'll have a go at converting it myself, just in time for my GM to kill my character with it.

The lycanthrope template doesn't really work with some of the creatures in 1st and 2nd edition, doesn't it? I don't really like it that much. For one thing, a creature should get the same Constitution bonus for ALL of its Hit Dice.

Ok first of all the non lycanthropic sea wolf.
(an amalgam, of sorts, of the wolf (MM) and the seal (Frostburn).
Seawolf
Medium Animal
HD: 2d8+4 (13 hp)
Init: +1
Speed: 20 ft., swim 40 ft.
AC: 14 (+1 Dex, +3 Natural Armor), Touch 11, Flat-footed 13
Base attack/Grapple: +1/+4
Attack: Bite +5 melee (1d6+4)
Full Attack: Bite +5 melee (1d6+4)
Space/Reach: 5 ft./ 5 ft.
Special Attacks: Trip
Special Qualities: Hold breath, low-light vision, scent
Saves: Fort +5, Ref +5, Will +1
Abilities: Str 16, Dex 12, Con 15, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 6
Skills: Hide +1, Listen +3, Move Silently +2, Spot +3, Survival +1, Swim +10
Feats: Alertness, Weapon Focus (Bite)
Environment: Cold Aquatic
Organization: Solitary, pair, or pack (4-16)
CR: 1
Advancement: 3-4 HD (Medium), 5-6 HD (Large)
Scholars debate whether or not the seawolf is a natural creature or something conjured up from the warped mind of a wizard. They do however breed true, so such discussion is moot.
The seawolf has the 6 to 7 foot long body of a seal. It's head and shoulders are those of a wolf. They are thickly muscled and have tiny ears and long hair that covers their head and shoulders like a mane.
Combat: Seawolves hunt at sea and also on the shoreline. There they use their teeth to trip and kill their opponents.
Trip (ex): A seawolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+1 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the seawolf.
Skills: *A seawolf gains a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.

Lesser seawolves in humanoid form have no distinguishing traits.
COMBAT
In seawolf form, a lesser seawolf can trip just as a normal seawolf does. A lesser seawolf in hybrid form usually dispenses with weapon attacks, though it can wield a weapon and use its bite as a secondary natural attack.
Alternate Form (Su): A lesser seawolf can assume a bipedal hybrid form or the form of a seawolf.
Curse of Lycanthropy (Su): Any humanoid or giant hit by a lesser seawolf’s bite attack in animal or hybrid form must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or contract lycanthropy.
Trip (Ex): A lesser seawolf in animal form that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+2 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity.
If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the lesser seawolf.
Seawolf Empathy (Ex): Communicate with seawolves, and +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against seawolves.
Skills: *A lesser seawolf in hybrid or animal form gains a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.
The lesser seawolf presented here is based on a 1st-level human warrior and natural lycanthrope, using the following base ability scores: Str 13, Dex 11, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 9, Cha 8.
