Default looking to put a electric fan in, What should I get?

I have a 1988 Mj with no ac, so it doesn't come with a electric fan just mechanical. My mj will stay under 210 sitting in traffic and about 190 or lower on the highway or crucing around town. but it starts to get above 210 when in really soft sand and its having to work hard to get through it and only averaging about 10-15 mph. basicly I have check thed fan cluch, it is fine and there is no air in the system. I beilev the cooling system is working fine, it just cant pull trough enough air when going about 10 miles per hour at high rpms. Im on the beach every weekend, so I am looking into putting a electric fan in the location of where the stock electric fan would go if it had ac.

SO the question is what should I use, I dont want to spend a bunch on this, maybe under 100$, but I want the most cfm I can get for my money.

Also I do not want any junk yard parts.

why no junkyard fan? replace your fan clutch with a new one (theyre wear out) and get a stock new style (97+) efan from a junkyard. no setup flows better than stock.

I thought about running all electric but after thinking about it I would like to keep the mechanical fan and add a electric.
