It sounds like a bad connection, try cleaning the battery terminals and post. Also, check all the connections at the starter and starter solenoid. You said the battery is good therefore I cannot blame the alternator unless the alternator is not keeping the battery charged. Make sure all belts are tight and in good shape.

Good Luck
