Enclose Question

Hello,
I'm a total Onshape novice. I am designing a boat and I am wanting to enclose the area below the waterline 60 plane to calculate volume for buoyancy. I have thickened fills for the hull, along with an extruded keel, but i imagine i must connect them all to close in the hull to use enclose?
I am attaching a link to the file for the boat(I think :)). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There are a few ways to do this. Enclose is a good way, it does require all holes to be sealed. Simplify is another one which is a custom feature.
Since this part is not very concave, an extrude and boolean approach would work well:
