Does Fiberglass Live Forever?

I read the recent thread about old boats. I have a specific question. How long will a fiberglass boat live? The boat I'm looking at is a 1979. Spent 12 years in fresh water before the last three in salt water. I'm not sure before that. It's about the nicest 79 model I"ve seen. I had actually not wanted anything older than mid 80's. Also what about resale. The boat is listed for around $40,000. Say I buy it and in 5-10 years want to sell. Will someone want a 37 year old boat? Will it still be sturdy at say 40 years old? Thanks
