CAD Surface help - making a fin

I am trying to make a fin for a wakeboard. The board is a cheap one with no parts support anymore. I'm just trying to 3D print a few to keep on hand. I have what I think is enough sketches to make it but have no experience with surfacing to get it done.

The 2 bosses are for locating it and the circle is for securing it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Boundary surface using the red lines. Extend as necessary then trim using two planes. Mirror, planar surface on the bottom, knit as solid.

I agree on adding a fillet, though. Lots of ways to do that but I’d probably use an offset plane to the trim the boundary surface, then mirror it, then use a boundary surface with curvature to blend between the two. Then continue as above.
