I can use B17 saddles on upright-ish bikes, but sitbones want a B17n (narrow) on drop bar/leaned over riding. In the interest of water-proofiness, I tried the in-between width of the C17 - it was good, but long distance riding aggravated bits of the undercarriage other than the sit bones. I then tried a C17 carved and found nirvana on a saddle.
I said all that to say... if it's truly a sit bones problem, than narrower or wider may do the trick, but, if it possibly a slightly different undercarriage problem, maybe the carved/slotted C17 is the trick.
