I think the consensus is that there is no such thing as 'too old' There are too many variables for age alone to be the driver. The oldest fiberglass boats were way overbuilt. It took a while for the manufacturer's to learn just how little material they could get away with. A really old boat will likely have had many things replaced.
All other things being equal, a 40 year old boat that had a major refit 20 years ago could theoretically be stronger and more seaworthy than a 20 year old boat.
