12V cabin fan recommendations?

New to the forum, I purchased a 230 CC that me and the wife usually stay at least one night on the lake, being an hour and a half drive we try to get the most out of the weekends on the water. Being in southern NM the nights are still pretty warm and while deployed I've had some time to come up with some upgrades I want to do when I get back home. One is to install a 12V fan in the cuddy for the warm nights. I will be installing a "house" battery to have the fan run off of and just looking to see if anyone has a recommendation of a high flow, low amp, affordable fan. I am looking at the Camano Model 743 at just over $40 and a .34 amp draw I'm thinking this will work well...

I wonder if you can find one that has a chamber that can be filled with ice to cool the air it draws through.

We've had some discussions over the years on fans.  I currently have an O2 one that runs off batteries, 120V, or 12VDC.  Here is one of the discussions:

Hella makes a very quiet fan. I had one in my old 232cc. When I was looking for fans, I made sure I tried them all out for the noise factor. Nothing more annoying than trying to sleep and dealing with a noisy fan. It is even worse trying to sleep after a few cocktails and dealing with a noisy fan...

I've had a Caframo Sirocco fan in my cabin for several years now. It is capable of adjusting the air flow and is quiet. I wouldn't be without it in the cabin, really moves the air around.

I have the same one DI.  It's a great option and moves a good amount of air.

I use these. Spray when needed. LOL.

Thanks for all the recommendations everyone, think I found what I am going to go with. MT I like the idea of installing a cigarette lighter in place of hard wiring the fan. That's what I was originally going to do but I like the options you can use with the cigarette lighter.
