Most likely there is nothing wrong. The choke is closed to start, throttle may be opened a bit and fuel in going into the top end as it is turning over and attempts to start. To find a sheen on the water is normal after start-up.

The milky look could be a combination of things, however, it's most likely fuel, air, and exhaust water by products sitting in exhaust for the period of time the boat was sitting. A situation where you have a bad plug will cause those conditions as well.
