For bow and stern loops for tie downs, I'd probably drill right through and embed aluminum or brass tubing in epoxy. Or you could make a small end-pour of epoxy. There may be foam in place in the ends already... if so, I'd go with tubing.

I'd also really examine those hull/deck seams before putting it on the water...
