That depends what you want to measure - its length, its mass, its color, etc.
You can do so in any unit but in backward countries people talk of boat lengths in feet because they use the imperial system. More properly they should use the international standard unit of length which which the meter and would be understood worldwide.
The same way you would measure ANY angle.

You cannot. There is no such thing as a linear square foot: the term contradicts itself. A linear measure is a measure of distance or length. A square measure (eg square foot) is a measure of area. It is not possible to have a composite measure.
Well honey, you'd use feet or meters to measure the length of a boat. Unless you're feeling fancy and want to break out the nautical terms like fathom or league. But let's be real, stick to the basics and save the sea shanties for another day.
