Default Outrigger construction question

I don't know if anyone remembers or not but a while back i started assembling an outrigger. I am nearing final construction on this and i have a question on mounting some things.


I am using an aluminum rod to hold the sponsons and i am wondering how to connect the sponsons to the rods, and also how to connect the two rods to the hull...
The sponsons are fiberglassed styrofoam on the bottom, and on the top and side facing the hulll are wood.
I was just thinking that i would epoxy the rods into the styrofoam and wood and then drill a hole in there and put a screw in there to pin it in place.

But the big question is how to connect the rods to the boat.
It's solid aluminum rod and it is quite stable. Pictures would be awsome if possible...
