Got boat out of storage. Fogged motor last fall and now it won't start. Fresh gas but will only run on ether.

It didn't have any old gas in the carbs did it? You might try pulling them and see if there is gunk in there. It builds up real easy nowadays with all this ethanol in the gas.

If it runs while you're spraying something flammable into the carbs but stops when you stop then you have a fuel problem. As mentioned above, make sure fuel is getting to the carbs and if so then maybe they need a cleaning.
