Yes you need to remove the rotted wood. Your link did not work for me but pics do help.

Rmaster, if you use photo bucket to upload your pics onto it works very well to create tags with. It won't be just fixing the corners I am afraid it will be more involed than that. However without pics typing is hard to get real good idea what you are dealing with.

Fromm this pic it looks like you have a bunch of rotten wood. All need removed and that corner really needs to be built up with cloth and resin.

Was it a wood boat that was covered in fiberglass later in life?

edit: Looks like your boat started life as a wood boat. It will be very difficult to stop it from rotting.
