Hey Smack
I think you misunderstood the Dog - I don't think he said the boat would suffer more damage. This is what I think he said:
Also, most modern boats have far more buoyancy in the stern than they do forward, since the bows are normally fairly fine entry and on modern designs the beam is usually led pretty far aft. The stern will have a greater tendency to rise with the wave due to the greater buoyancy.
Unless there was an earlier post in which case I apologise for my oversight.
