check the connections on the starter and make sure they aren't corroded

check to see if you are getting power to the starter solenoid while in the crank position if you are most likely you need a starter. You could try this next trick and see if it works or not and not a real good practice I know but while holding the key in the crank position smack the starter motor with a hammer sometimes the brushes get stuck and smacking the side of the starter helps free them up (sometimes this works and sometimes it dont)

Check voltage drop across all power cables and the starter.
