Narrative:
The private pilot conducted a local flight. On landing he allowed the airplane to touch down approximately 1,000 feet down the 2,600 foot runway. He was unable to stop the airplane on the remaining runway due to the wet turf runway. The pilot told investigators that he did not realize the runway was wet prior to the accident. An examination of the airplane after the accident failed to reveal any pre-existing anomalies.

Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudging distance/speed resulting in an overrun. A contributing factor was the wet condition of the turf runway.
