 Welding together a wake tower

Hi all, i want to weld together a wakeboard tower, kinda like this one:
http://www.fluidcore.com.au/images/1photos/600x450 /wishbone.jpg
Just wanted to start a bit of a discussion going about it.
Say, if i was going to use 5cm diameter aluminium tubing, get it bent to shape, how hard would it be to weld caps onto the ends, and screw in some rod-end bearings like these into the caps:
These bearings would connect onto round flanges which would be on the deck of the boat, which would look like this (circled in red):
Any suggestions/ideas ? Would the welding be difficult, or should i use a different bearing? My main difficulty is i can't imagine how i'd make the flange/hat things.
