Default 4th has lazy starts

My 93 is having some really LAZY starts in the morning.
I have to hold the key in the crank position for like 2-3 seconds, before it starts.
then the car SHAKES and it starts.
It usually does this after 10+hrs of not being started.
So like over parked over night, or parked at work and I work long hrs.
Any ideas what it could be?
Battery is good, so I doubt battery it's a 1yr old deep cycle.

you could have a voltage drain somewhere, so while the car is off the battery isn't being recharged by the alternator, its like if you put the key in the acc. position and listen to your radio awhile, it will struggle to start because the battery is drained

If the car is cranking but not starting for several seconds the solenoid on your starter is probably going out.

I've been told possibly carbon buildup in the starter relay.
