That thing sticking out of the port side is a night vision goggle of some sort. I saw that boat at the Miami boat show and it is wild. Very high tech. I am very curious how all the computer stuff holds up in a salt water environment. A really nice piece.

It's a night vision scope as stated. Cost about 20K. They work OK on big stable motoryachts, but would be useless on a 42 Cig at any kind of speed. The reason it is elevated so high is probably to see over the bow while idling. The picture for it shows up on one of those high tech screens. There is really nothing high tech about them, they are Northstar 962 screens built for the marine environment so they should hold up fine. A radar would have made more sense, but that would not be nearly as cool as a useless night vision scope.
A very cool boat overall.
