Has anyone installed both? I have a Futures jig and the Ofish’l boxes (from what I have seen) look similar in width and depth. Also does anyone know if Ofish’l actually sells a jig? I can’t seem to find it on their website.
deanbo,
I've used both the Ofish'l and the Futures router jigs. The router bit that's used for Ofish'l is like the new router bits Futures is selling. The Ofish'l set routs out the center and the flange all at the same time. I'll try to get you some pictures and dimensions later. I've got to tell you though I prefer the Probox system its a whole lot easier.

Yeah, they have a jig for that. You’ll have to call them. The bit should run a bit over $50.00. Can’t remember what the jig costs though. Had mine for many years.
Hey deanbo,
here are some pictures of the Ofish'l fin box jig.
Mike
Thank you for that. It looks quite hard to use from what I can see in the photos.
deanbo,
its really a lot easier then the old futures fin system. Do a search for the future fin system I think somebody ran a thread talking about the new router bits they had to cut out the rail boxes and the center box. The system seem very similar the Ofish'l which is just one pass with the router for each box and you're done. The first surfer divas class at Cerritos College used Ofish'l fin system. If you have the jig for futures practice on a scrap piece of foam just using the set up for routing out the center fin box to see how the Ofish'l box fits.

I already have a Futures install system so I will try what you said. Thanks very much for the mentioning the Futures centre fin thing too as this may hold me over in the mean time.
