Swim Platform Boarding Platform Ideas?

Looking to make a boarding platform from the dock to my swim platform on my 356. Dock and platform almost even. I see aluminum ones for $1500 but figure I could make one for less. Doesn’t need to be aluminum.

I have a 356 as well and keep the swim platform about 6-10 inches from the dock. No need for anything else.

Our dock has a 45 degree angle at the stern of the boat which prevents getting that close at the furthest aft stern. I would like to board at the stern straight from the dock not port or starboard side stern.

Check out some pics of boats from Europe....seems they are stern in a lot and have all sorts of gang planks etc for boarding.....maybe you could get an idea from that if that is what you are looking for......
