So I've been playing around with a couple builds, this was my first one

Morallo Eval-Heavy Laser Cannon, Bossk, Gunner, Outlaw Tech-50

Boba Fett-Engine Upgrade, Lone Wolf, Recon Spec, Glitterstim-50

That worked ok, but I found the YV to be too much of a brick, and too predictable for my opponents, and he flew off the board once because he couldn't turn well because Bossk kept kicking in...(Omega Leader needs nerfs)

SO I came up with this!

Bossk-Veteran Instincts, Maneuvering Fins, Navigator, Outlaw Tech, Gunner, Mangler Cannon-51

Kath Scarlett- Veteran Instincts, Recon Spec, Glitterstim, Engine Upgrade-48

When Bossk reveals a turn, he can do any turn or bank, and Kath can boost around to arc dodge or reposition her rear arc, the second build will be the one I'm using tonight, any thoughts, gents?

Firespray / YV is a pretty potent combo, though I'm partial to Boba/Bossk myself (and have lately been playtesting Bossk/Kath)

While the ability to change your maneuver around is a pretty nice trick, I think you're better off spending those 4 points on an Engine Upgrade instead. As you said, the YV can be slow to turn, so having that boost action to get an extra angle is pretty great.

Kath is pretty great. Wanting to point your butt at people takes a little getting used to, but when you do get someone at R1 behind you throwing those 5 red dice is so satisfying.

Yes I'm trying to get used to her, she's definitely hard to fly well. The main problem I've had with her is survivability, so I think I'm gonna switch back to Boba, and I'm gonna try the new Dengar Crew on Bossk(it comes out before my next tourny, so I'm trying to refine my build for that event)

Going to quote ScootyPuff from an old thread of mine here:

HLC on Bossk with Calculation has the potential to be nasty. Paired with K4's free target lock and Recon Specialist's double focus tokens, you have a pretty good chance of getting at least one crit through to use Bossk's ability. You have a point left over and if you wanted to be risky, you could throw Greedo on the YV-666 for even more potential damage.

It's a really, really nasty list.

Edit: I'm not really sure where you would fit Dengar into this list honestly. You could drop the Gunner on Boba down to a K4 or something, but rerolling 1/2 attack dice when you get TLs on green maneuvers seems redundant. Granted, the K4 locks you into green maneuvers while Dengar doesn't, but Bossk especially will do a lot of green maneuvers to shed stress from hard 2s or the 0stop maneuver. Boba doesn't really need the rerolls as much given his pilot ability. You could straight up swap the K4 on Bossk for Dengar to (probably) much the same effect.

Hmmm... Well I was thinking of going for this list

Bossk_Mangler Cannon, Veteran Instincts, Merc Copilot, Navigator, Dengar, Maneuvering Fins

Boba Fett- Lone Wolf, Recon Spec, Glitterstim, Engine Upgrade

That other list does look QUITE nasty, though.

I don't think Maneuvering Fins is worth it. You'd be better off giving him Inertial Dampeners.

Inertials are one use... And take a different slot. And work amazingly with Navigator. I could take both if I switched some stuff around, Like VI on Boba. If anything I'd drop fins and navigator for engine upgrade.

Full disclosure, this list was posted in a blog I read (stayontheleader.blogspot.com), highlighting how some overlooked pilots/cards can be quite nasty if your opponent is unprepared.
It's a good read.

Anyway, it featured a YV-666/Firespray, so I thought I'd add it to the thread.

Latts Razzi (YV-666)
- Ion Projector
- Bossk
- Weapons Engineer
- Gunner
- Hot Shot Blaster

Kath Scarlet (Firespray-31)
- Slave 1 title
- Outmaneuver
- Conner Net
- K4 Security Droid
- Glitterstim
- Extra Munitions

Outmaneuver on Kath is pretty nasty given her pilot ability, combined with the removal of agility from Latts. And Conner Nets are just mean. Looks like a fun list.

I'm still not sold on the whole three points Hot Shot Blaster costs, though.

Kath/Bossk did well at our Store Championship. It was one win away from the top tables.

I recently ran Bossk and Dengar. It worked pretty well.

Dengar (JM-5000)
Punishing One
Crack Shot
K4
Unhinged Astromech

Bossk (YV-666)
Mangler Cannon
K4
Gonk
