I have told the stoker that we can get a thud buster if she wants one but for know she has said she is OK as it is.

She did mention that she felt the bumps more than on our Ventana EcdM though :-)
The first thing to do is get 28 mm tires, such as the Schwalbe One. Then check to see how it rides.

Edit:

Not only 25 mm, Gatorskins at that. You've got a lot of riding comfort to gain by switching to the lower pressure, more voluminous and supple 28 mm Schwalbe One's.
