I am not sure that the idea of a fixed hinge at the stern is accurate. I would think that the fulcrum would be further forward, at the centre of the horizontal plane.
As the bow comes up this would be opposed by the greater stern plane giving a smaller downward movement. While this depends on moments and the distance from the centre of buoyancy effects the angular movement, it seems quite possible that the rise of the bow is limited by the plumb stern.
