Now that I am back, I have a piece of carbon fiber cloth to cover the
bottom of the dinghy with.

The fiber is just for scuff protection. Any thoughts pro or con?

Con on both from my viewpoint. Polyester and carbon do not mix well, IME.
Also, carbon is very bad in "scuff" mode, which is why it is usually covered
with Kevalr in areas where that may happen.
But... it was obviously free (ish) so what the hey! CAn't lose on that one,
but try to use epoxy as most carbon is not sized for polyester.
