Yes, that's one approach. Be sure to consider:
- surveyed positions of your fixed antennas
- number of mobile devices
- size of vessel
- what happens under marginal signal conditions (do receivers claim to
have a good quality fix but at the wrong position)
- error detection/correction in the app
- loop detection, so that this app does not use its own output like
the output of a receiver.

Perhaps without the feeding-back path it would become simpler.  gpsd
provides data from individual devices, 'aggregate_gpsd' combines it into a
new feed.  Keeping the protocol format.  Clients can then connect to
aggregate_gpsd instead, should they want to.

web search for "gps attitude sensor" will give some hints on the
current state of the art.
