Fizzy has a 1992 Volvo Penta 230A single prop outdrive engine. It is a 120hp 2.3 litre four cylinder, single carburettor  petrol engine. The engine does not have an automatic choke. This video shows the typical starting sequence of the engine from cold.

One of the most important things to do when starting any petrol engine boat is to turn on the engine bay blower first so that if there is any build up of petrol vapour in the engine bay this is removed.
