I just checked every book I have (too many) and cannot find a reference to actual units beyond a measure for "reserve buoyancy" - the amount of buoyancy gained when a boat pokes its nose into a wave that it cannot rise quickly enough to ride over. Reserve buoyancy was quoted in cubic feet of displacement (effectively, pounds) or as a percentage of the whole boat's mass.
So, yeah, you're right.
Maybe I should steal the idea an copyright a "Michelin Man" as the unit for buoyancy...
