Is there any requirement for a battery to be a "marine" battery if it's only going to be used as a starting battery for the motor?

All the marine batteries in this area appear to be a hybrid with some deep cycle capability and all I want to do with my starting battery is start the motor. I plan to have a deep cycle battery for trolling and something like a motor cycle battery for lights/accessory support.
 
Thanks Pappy, I was hoping you would respond on this one. I'll just pick up a battery that'll fit in my truck or my wife's mini van. That way the battery can be a backup and I'll save money not purchasing a "marine" battery for a starting battery.
