Description:
Hitting a Phantom in a boat will sometimes hit the boat instead of the Phantom due to its positioning.
Quitting and rejoining the world will sometimes allow you to hit the Phantom.
Video Demonstration:

How to Reproduce:
Set the time to midnight and summon multiple Phantoms in boats using the commands provided.
/time set midnight
/summon boat ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"phantom"}]}
Equip any tool/weapon that shows the attack indicator when aiming at the Phantom.
Look at each Phantom's hitbox.
Take note for which Phantoms the attack indicator displays and which do not.
Save & Quit the world and rejoin.
Repeat steps 3 & 4 and compare the difference.
Observed Behavior:
Each Phantom has a chance to be hittable in boats.
Expected Behavior:
All Phantoms should be hittable in boats.
Can confirm with the phantom, though I wonder if this is more of a broader issue with entity positioning in general upon reloading.
