At 550 CCA you have a very marginal battery there to start any cold engine bigger than a lawn mower. The fact that you have a Deep Cycle battery isn't really a problem in and of itself. A deep cycle battery can be used for cranking. It's just that it doesn't produce near the cranking amps for it's size that a starting battery will... It's made for deep discharges and constant loads. A cranking battery would die a quick death doing what the deep cycle battery is made to do. What I would suggest you do is measure the battery box you have and see what can be fitted in there in terms of physical size. If you can stuff a Group 31 truck battery in there, that would be my choice. They're relatively cheap to buy and the good ones will deliver 1000 CCA along with quite a resepctable reserve capacity. Also make sure that the cables and clamps are in good condition. I'd go with a double awg (00) cable to reduce the resistance as much as possible... If you still have problems then look at the starter.
