Done all the time...there's a yard that does Grand Banks fuel tanks out the bottom.

A glass boat chopped to pieces with a chainsaw can be glued back together virtually as strong or stronger if you like and the repair is done properly.

On some glass boats the sides just keep the water out. They are not really structural but on others they are....So if the repair requires additionl strength, much like doubling up lumber around a window.....it could be reinforced...but most fiberglass patches with both poly resin (preferred as same material characteristics) or epoxy will equal or nearly equal the original strength.
