I'm also remembering that there wasn't a whole lot of headroom left for
anyone over about 6'2". Unless this guy has long legs and a shorter than
normal trunk for a person 6' 5" tall, I suspect headroom will also be an
issue. He only weighed in at 250 so he might "be all legs", but I'd sure
want to check it out before setting off on a long cross-country.

The main determinant as to rear seat LEGroom in a Comanche (and in
most
modern 4-seat GA airplanes for than matter) is how far back the front
seat
is located. If the front seat occupant is relatively short and thus
draws
his/her seat forward, the rear seat legroom becomes quite spacious.
