Was wondering if anyone else struggles with recumbutt on the Silvio and any remedies or seat padding suggestions. I get it pretty quickly and seem to fight it the whole ride.

This isn't very helpful, but on my Sofrider, I find that by reducing the ride angle, I greatly improve recumbutt.
I've read of others adding memory-foam pad for bottom with some luck (which is what I was going to try).

What's Recumbutt?
Seriously...no issues at all with the seat on the Silvio at all.

My experience parallels
My experience parallels cplager's. The lowering my seat angle reduced recumbutt. My Quest is currently set around 40 degrees and I still experience pain in my upper butt cheeks after about 4 or more hours in the seat.

I've purchased the
I've purchased the Ventisit comfort seat pad early this spring and now with 900 miles on it I've found it to be more comfortable all around and of course it greatly reduces the sweating. While I've never have experienced the discomfort recumbutt mentioned above you might want to consider a Ventisit seat pad. For me it helped my issues with my lower back! It's a bit expensive but it might help.

Replaced foam with Wondergel
I was having issues with my rear getting sore. I order the Wondergel Roll & Go - Gel Seat Cushion from Amazon.
Cut it out to fit inside the seat cover to replace the original foam cushion.
For me, this has really helped a lot. Recently rode 740 mile in 10 days on my Silvio with no issues.
