How far gone, is too far gone?

I have a 77 mark twain tri hull that sat outside on a trailer for at least 6 years uncovered. The stringers are rotted out. I have mostly gutted it except for the foam underneath

I have no fiberglass experience, but the hull doesn’t look damaged. Does fiberglass become unrepairable at a certain point. I’m aware that it will be a lot of work, but I’m just curious if the fiberglass can become damaged beyond repair by age and exposure? And how can you tell? Thanks.

i have some pictures I’ll try to post.

The foam has to come out.-----Glass in new stringers / ribs.-----I like using ---WEST SYSTEM ----epoxy and fiberglass / carbon fiber.------Doing a 40 year old boat now.-----Nothing wrong with the glass of the hull.
