Temperatures and humidity seem to be higher each year. We don't overnight on the boat in mid summer.
I found household cleaners worked well to kill mold. I wipe down all the wood with a spray bottle w a mix of Pinesol & water.
I wipe down dark specs on fiberglass, like ceilings with tilex. Be careful as breathing the stuff causes a nasty sore throat, you won't forget. Spray a coat and let soak for 10 minutes, wipe off. Spray a second coat on and let air dry. Wipe down everything each spring and spot clean problem areas and you should get ahead of it.
I spray cushions with Fabreeze occassionally.
Portable AC units 120vAC, 8000 to 10000 BTU, costing $350 to $400 can cool the cabin nicely at the dock but need 120VAC power.

My 2005 Nicro is still working fine, (in the head) of course only in the day and 6 months a year. As another mentioned, it is getting noisy, but at least the impeller doesn’t fall off anymore for some reason.
I say install the muffin fans. Just do it. These have made a dramatic difference. It amazing on how moving such little air eliminates smell and mold. They are only 80mm, right in the Dorade Box and use so little juice I don’t even think about it. I removed the Tuba horns and made a drink holder out of the hole. I don’t remember pulling the wires through the ceiling liner, so it can’t have been that big of a problem. I have a switch for them on my regular panel.

There are also the DIY projects on installing a muffin fan in the companionway hatch boards, something I'm not really wanting to do.
Any listers want to chime in on this?
