Yes.  But 95% are the same. Hard to find ones more more cant. Scimitar fins have more cant

Thanks, do you know what the cant is for the 95%?

Does anyone know if there are Future compatible "blanks" (fiberglass fin blanks I would shape myself) with built-in canted bases available for sale? I've made my own center fins but I'm thinking the toughest part of side fins would be getting the cant in the base right. I want to make a couple big fins for a twin fin and no one makes them.

Switch to ProBox. Easier to make your fins. Plus, for the home builder, you gain not just cant angle adjustment, but movement fore and aft. This is a huge deal. I was into FCS Fusion, but they removed the fore/aft adjustment from boxes sometime mid season last year. From now on, I'll use ProBox with FCS fins fitted to them.

X2 on probox, also i been cutting some slot on my fcs fins so the set screw in the probox will push down on the fin(what it was design to do) instead of pushing it on the side.  The slot can be easily cut with a dremel or drill, just make it long enough so it can be adjust fore and aft.
