Read the full NTSB narrative

IMMEDIATELY AFTER LIFT OFF, FROM A WET GRASS RUNWAY, THE PILOT ABORTED THE TAKE OFF. THE PILOT STATED THAT ONCE AIRBORNE, THE AIRPLANE FELT 'TOO MUSHY' AND THAT HIS RATE OF CLIMB WOULD NOT ALLOW THE AIRPLANE TO CLEAR THE WIRES AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRPLANE OVERRAN THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY, SLID ACROSS A ROAD AND IMPACTED AN EMBANKMENT. A POST CRASH FIRE CONSUMED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.
