AFTER ARRIVING, THE PLT MADE SEVERAL APPROACHES TO THE RWY TO CHECK THE WIND CONDITIONS, BUT NOTICED NO WIND. HE REPORTED ESTABLISHING A FINAL APPROACH WITH AN AIRSPEED OF 57 KTS, USING FULL FLAPS. DURING THE LANDING, THE ACFT BOUNCED, AND REPORTEDLY, THE PLT SET IT DOWN WITH APRX 1000 FT OF RWY REMAINING. FULL BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT THE FLAPS WERE NOT RETRACTED. THE ACFT WOULD NOT STOP ON THE REMAINING RWY. THERE WAS A POWER LINE AT THE END OF THE RWY, SO THE PLT ELECTED NOT TO GO AROUND. THE ACFT CONTINUED OFF THE END OF THE RWY AND STRUCK A FENCE POST. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THE EXPECTED LANDING ROLL WAS IN EXCESS OF 1250 FT.
