Sorry one pic is a little blurry. I have a few cracks around the bimini top hinge and i'm unsure at what point they require some work. They appear to be spider crack like, should I be worry at this time? I appreciate any insights into the severity and any suggestions for repair.

I looks like it's just gelcoat spider cracks.
When I remodeled my Scarab years ago I had quite a few cracks like that.......personally I would not worry, it's superficial cracks from what I've found. Wait until it becomes an eye sore because it will probally do it again if repaired.
FYI .....The fiberglass there is about 3/4 to 1" thick.

Well, it could start to flake off and then look even worse. It probably won't spread from stress, because like jorge said, the fiberglass is a lot thicker (than the gelcoat), but if left un-addressed, it could flake off and leave big chunks missing. You might consider some epoxy glue in there - like the stuff they sell at the auto parts store to fill in windshield cracks. It probably won't hurt and could save a headache down the road, especially because this joint gets a LOT of abuse when using the bimini when riding..
