It should all be feet...

Wrong

"50 feet yacht" wrong
"That plane is 300 foot high" (Would mean the plane is 300 feet from top to bottom)
"It's fifty foot to the bottom" (Wrong, must use feet)

Distance use 'feet', size use 'foot or feet' (This doesn't apply if you're talking about something that is one foot away).
