There is still a product sold as "white gas" but it's something different than it used to be, and is no longer safe for engines.
The "white gas" currently sold at camping stores (usually Coleman camp fuel) is naphtha (lighter fluid). It is similar to gasoline, but very low octane and will destroy a gasoline engine with pre-detonation.

A thought;
Years ago there was a product called "white gasoline" that was sold for use in Coleman lanterns and stoves.
As I recall, normal automobile gasoline in those days had tetra ethyl lead added to improve the octane rating and prevent detonation in the cylinders, as engine compression ratios and HP increased.
White gasoline was straight gasoline without the tetra ethyl lead.
If that is still available, it might be a solution to ethanol-free gasoline for your outboard.
