You could, but you wouldn't have to boil it for the entire 60 minutes. Bringing it to a boil at least would make me feel more comfortable that everything is sanitized. I'm not handy with extract brewing, but I think you'd want at least some in there for better hop utilization. Adding hops to just plain water might not work as well, but there are others on here that can give better advice than I can.
