You are definitely a big guy for the Boxster, but it depends a lot on your proportions and ability to tolerate cramped conditions (age is a factor!)
But you will really want the console delete kit. It's designed for Boxster owners that needed to have additional room for racing. I love it and think the look is unique and kinda retro.
The black rectangle below the dash line is actually mounted on the console delete panel which is approx 6-8" forward of the console surface. Itg's not hanging from the dashboard. My car had this "amp" for lack of a better term that I moved from the original vertical console to the delete kit's panel. Check this link Interior Trim

I'm 6'1" 210 lbs. In my situation, the car is fairly comfortable for short trips. If I drive more than 60 miles or so, my but starts to hurt as well as my back. I like a seat that tips back and it 'ain't' going to happen in a Boxster. I've owned 6 Porsche's (1968 912, 1971 911T, 1975 911S, 2002 996, 1973 911S and my current car a 2001 Boxster S) All of the other cars were absolutely fine on a long trip. In addition, I like to stretch out my legs and that too won't happen in a Boxster. I will say this, of all the Porsche's I've owned, the Boxster provides way more "driving' fun than the other Porsche's I've owned. Namely the handling. It's fantastic !!!
