So I'm still not sure your exact symptoms.  Do you need to
edit the ntp.conf after restart, or just restart ntpd after a reboot?

It would help some if you tell us your OS, and versions of gpsd and ntpd.
Are you using NTP Classic, or NTPsec?

Are you booting with dhcp client, or statis address?

Yeah, that seems weird, but a lot of OS have bad scripts to start
gpsd and ntpd.  Very common to have to throw them away and do your
own.
