Ken,
You are on the right path. What you have to do is cut the fiberglass and remove the area to be replaced with a piece of corian or stone. If I was doing it, I would leave a inside 1"-2" lip around the entire inside cutout so that the new material could be secured (glued) without much effort. This also allows for any "cutting errors". It does raise the height of the sinktop the thickness of the material.....but that is not a big deal. You will also need to shim the back and right side to compensate for the raised front.
In regards to corian versus stone. Many granite shops have scrap pieces they will work for you at a nominal sum. Make an exact cardboard cutout that fits and that will make their job easy. In many cases it is cheaper than corian but that is your choice. Matching the stone to our finishes is pretty easy. However, everything we have sold this year has been Sovereign Cherry which goes great with a black stone.
I will also post this on Club Sea Ray since some folks have asked about it. Looks like you need to provide some photos so everyone can see your handiwork.
Best,
