I always ride with padded shorts. Pearl iZumis to be exact. They help, but not enough. I think what you were describing as my sits bones are hitting the saddle frame. I always feel like I'm sitting on the very back edge of the saddle. My saddle is already set back as far as it will go, too. The Crossrip will be a 61cm, so I'm hoping that suits me better.
If it's still not large enough, you can get a set back seat post or a longer stem to help out with fit.

Give chamois cream a go. I never used it until i did and won't go without now. I've been using DZNuts. https://www.amazon.com/DZ-Nuts-Pro-C.../dp/B008F9J16M

Good stuff.
