I have a 01 500H.O. that was doing the same thing. Carried it to Polaris and they told me it was trash in the carburator. Guy told me if you let them sit to long with cheap gas they will develop some type of junk that you cant get rid of w/o a full carb cleaning.

Crank it, let it idle, heat the engine, evaporate the water. Least I think you said it would idle ok.
