AFTER ROLLING ABOUT 300 FT THE ACFT BEGAN A SWERVE TO THE RT WHICH THE PLT PERCEIVED WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A LOSS OF PWR ON THE RT ENG. THE PLT INITIATED AN ABORT AND BEGAN HEAVY BRAKING. THE ACFT CONTINUED IN A RT SWERVE AND DEPARTED THE RT SIDE OF THE RWY. THE FIELD ADJACENT TO THE RWY WAS PLOWED AND WAS ROUGH AND UNEVEN.
