Analysis
While crossing over rwy 31 threshold a pickup truck entered the rwy environment traveling in a nw direction. The plt was able to fly over the truck while simultaneously adding full power. The eng did not develop full RPM until the acft was near the end of the rwy & the acft overran the rwy coming to rest at the water's edge in a small cove about 500 ft north of the rwy boundary. A plt witness estimated the wind to be from the south at about 15-20 KTS.
