Fiberglass cracking

I have built 2 boats and in never fails, the fiberglass cracks after 3 or 4 months in some places.  What am I doing wrong.  Is it because I dont put enough fiberglass resin over the cloth?  I usually put at least 2 coats on.  Should it be more or is there something wrong with my prep work. 

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I plan to build a bigger boat and don't want to be repairing it in 4 months.

Hurt my feelings

Kruez,
