Wanted to give a go at using a Y-Wing as a possible Phantom hunter, and started playing around with a few options and came up with this:

Corran Horn + PtL + FCS + R2

Porkins + VI + R3-A2

Dutch + Ion Turret + R2-D6 + VI

Comes in at an even 100 points. The plan is to get Dutch in amongst the asteroids and keep him there as long as possible. Corran and Porkins zip around that area trying to draw the Phantom in. With some fancy flying, there's a decent chance of ion-ing or stressing (or hopefully both) a Phantom, leaving it vulnerable for a kill shot by Corran.

Outside of killing a Phantom though, is it a strong enough build to last anything else? Thoughts? Changes?

Wouldn't Hobbie be better for this build with his stress reduction on TL spend. Getting TLs from Dutch will help. I realise that you want Jek to be PS 9 to counter Echo with VI, but he isn't going to help much versus Whisper since they will likely have initiative.

I do love Jek, but his best asset is an effective white K-turn (at least when he is naked). Using the Droid is gonna get him killed pretty fast.

Also 3 ships lists aren't very good counters to phantoms as a general rule.

Decoy and High PS is a must! Passing around the ability to shoot before the Phantom is awesome

Three ship rebel builds often suffer from early losses versus the majority of competitive lists out there. Even if it is an effective counter to echo/whisper, it probably won't stand up well to most other builds.

I just don't see this happening.

Easier said than done.

Don't forget your not just dealing with the Phantom but other ships as well.

I can see the Phantom tearing this apart

Corran will have trouble getting them in arc if they aren't ioned with "only" 8 skill. I don't care that much about range 2 turrets when I'm flying phantom. If you're worried about phantoms, then it's falcon + gunner or bust.

Han is a beast.

I believe wave 5 will also change the meta considerabley.

Seems the best way for now to beat a Phantom is either Han, or high ps list and hope your opponent makes a mistake or box him in some how which is easier said than done
