I have seen fans that pull more in from the soffits so as to aid the ridge vent. But when you factor in the cost vs savings, assuming your attic has good insulation, I can't imagine it would be worth it.

Bottom line, Florida is hot much of the year. Turn up your air and live with it.
I agree. Who cares how hot the attic is? Show me the data where you are actually saving money on electricity.
