The platform you are looking for was not a factory option and was made by a Whaler dealer in Italy for your local area.
Sun lounges or platforms, I have read, are very popular in Southern France, Italy and Greece. Many Boston Whalers listed on boating websites for sale have this feature.
If I were to build it, I would install wood cleats on the bow step wall, use 3/4" marine plywood and position 2 folding legs in the middle for support. I would paint the plywood on all sides and edges to seal it.
I suggest you contact a local Boston Whaler dealer to see if they have built this for other owners.
