G10 is my vote. You can get similar stuff not branded as g10 from McMaster-Carr. They sell it as FRP sheets, tubes, bars and angles.
IIRC Some listers have found a very uneven surface beneath the preexisting washers. This causes point loads and potentially insufficient torque. It might be worth it to plan ahead to shield/dam the keel bolts and then use some type of filled epoxy as a bedding. A backer made of G10 could be fabricated to cover multiple keel bolts. This extra length ensures that it levels evenly and distributes the loads. I might go to 10 or 20 percent torque and then allow the epoxy to set. Come back the following day to achieve full torque. Obviously keel bolts length will be a limiting factor.
