Question about the difference in XS and Pro XS cowlings

[TexasCub]

I am looking to buy a Tuff-Skinz vented motor cover and cant figure out which cover i need. Can anyone tell me what the 2003 250 XS cowling compares to as far as the Pro XS top cowlings?

Yes, the above BOLD listed choice is the only suitable choice (from that list) for your engine's cowling.
