THE PLT WAS FLYING THE ACFT AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS. THE ENG HAD BEEN CUTTING OUT DUE TO WATER IN THE TANKS, BUT HE THOUGHT THAT PROBLEM HAD BEEN CORRECTED. WHILE ON FINAL APCH TO LAND, THE ENG BEGAN MISSING & LOST POWER. THE PLT TURNED ON THE BOOST PUMP, BUT THIS HAD NO EFFECT. DURING A FORCED LANDING, THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH TREES SHORT OF THE RWY. THE PLT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO DOUBT THAT THE ENG LOST POWER DUE TO WATER IN THE FUEL.
