I don't think so- I think it would be way too narrow

Hmmm
I suspect the volume distribution is wrong-the bow would be too light (normally legs are in there displacing air...).
The width of the cockpit rim may be too narrow as well....
The overall boat width may or may not be an issue, depending on the level of adventure you have
Unless you've paddled wildwater boats a bit, I suspect you'll find it the most frustrating, "tippy" boat ever.
Thigh straps can ALWAYS be glassed in

Straps are no problem. Check out this link to photos of glassed in rope anchors:

I think Adam is right about the volume distribution. If you have the boat maybe you should take it to the water, kneal in it & see if you can get far enough forward to balance the boat front to rear. If you can & think you can adapt to the lack of width go for it & let us know how it does.
