Narrative:
In short; we landed fast and long; which resulted in over-running the runway. We were doing a straight-in visual approach at night. I first realized we were fast during the flare portion of the landing. At this same time I noticed we were floating. I made a comment along the lines of 'you need to put this airplane down.' I don't know if the captain heard me; but shortly after; we touched down. I would guess we were around the halfway point of the runway. The end of the runway came up really quick. I remember stomping on the breaks along with the captain as we got closer to the end lights. At this point we were still too fast; and proceeded off the end. We shut down the engines in the rough and called for assistance. The passengers remained on board until airport operations were able to arrange transport the terminal. After the incident I saw that the captain's landing bugs were still set to the take-off numbers. This explains why we were so fast. It doesn't explain why we never caught the error. I don't remember looking down at the pfds much during approach and landing; which probably caused me not to make the appropriate airspeed call-outs. Most of this last leg remains a bit hazy; as it was at the end of a long day. I also believe that during the floating flare I should have said; 'missed approach;' when I realized we were landing long. Also; had I assisted in braking earlier; we may have stopped sooner.

Title: A DH8D overran the end of the runway on landing when the approach was made with the airspeed bugs still set for takeoff V Speeds.

After the incident I saw that the Captain's landing bugs were still set to the take-off numbers. This explains why we were so fast. It doesn't explain why we never caught the error. I don't remember looking down at the PFDs much during approach and landing; which probably caused me not to make the appropriate airspeed call-outs. Most of this last leg remains a bit hazy; as it was at the end of a long day.
