Narrative:
Arriving dkx runway 26 at dark; full flaps deployed on final; approximately 75 knots. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary; although the plane seemed a little light and floated more than usual before settling to the runway. Upon applying the brakes; I did not feel any significant braking action. I applied full elevator back to help with braking action and intended to retract the flaps. Since the plane did not seem to be slowing I pushed still harder on the brake pedals; but with only minimal slowing of the plane. I also tried to swerve the plane some to slow the roll or stretch the distance. I finally exited the runway at a favorable spot between the lights; stopping nose down about 5 feet of water. Minor damage to the lower cowling; nose gear and main wheel pants; along with any possible water damage to engine.the plane had no passengers or luggage and very little fuel. There were skipping skid marks on the runway that appeared to be mine. In hindsight; it is my belief that full flaps along with a very light aircraft caused plane wheels to skip along instead of 'biting' the asphalt. I usually pull flaps up upon landing; as advised and I reached to do so this time. However; in the dark; I likely did not reach the lever and then concentrated on slowing the plane. Although winds were reported to be calm; a slight intermittent tail gust may have contributed to this as well. It is also possible that speed had something to do with it; although unlikely. I remember being close to the preferred approach speed prior to landing.
