if you have double 6v batteries you will get more fan operation than 2-12v batteries
That does of course depend on the batteries in question. You're certainly correct for the most common cases, GC2 6V golf cart batteries compared with normal marine/RV/trolling motor 12V batteries.
One other possibility that may make sense in a few cases is 2xGC12 12V golf cart batteries. These are somewhat longer than GC2 batteries, but have a similar width and height. Two GC12's have about half again the capacity of two GC2's (but are generally nowhere near as cost effective). Depending on the size and shape of one's battery spot, they may make for the largest capacity practical setup.
