Default Todays repairs

Here are some pictures of teh work I did on my hull.
Started with 80 grit and worked it down to 120 grit. Its pretty smooth now, but still have a few small pits..holes. So I might mix up another batch noth as thick and put a thin coat of West System over the repair once again to cover up the small imperfections.
The other two pictures are some chips and cracking or spidering. Not sure if I should do cloth and West System or just touch up. Any Advice ?

The last two pictures show some hair line cracks.
Is this normal for a 20 year old boat ??
Do others have this as well.
Is this considered a big problem ??
Should I grind and cloth ?? or lightly sand and patch with gelcoat or just add some resin and smooth it out ??

Hammer from what I have had described to me if that glass is solid, in other words not water logged or frayed out you just want to sand and coat with resin and or gel coat, and yes most boats have some of those somewhere. Some I looked at when boat searching had them all over the hull and transom.

Willy,
Not to sound stupid, but I added resin when mixing. I wetted the hull and cloth down, then applied the filler, resin and hardner. So with it all being sanded down fine now, you are saying to coat over the repair job with just resin and hardner mixed ??
Any help would be great.
