I need 3 and 4 to show real strong onesuiters, so way too weak for anything above 2 ♠. Partner will raise me with 2,5 tricks.
Kind Regards

3♠
A slight overbid, but 2♠ is too likely to miss game.
3♠ tells partner that he need not worry about fit, 2♠ does not.

a decent number of "borrowed" 7 count in partners hand give
us a great chance at game. Our suit quality is very good and p
will not want to raise us with hands like x xxx KJxxx Kxxx
so 2s is too weak. 3S should be saved for very strong hands that
are primarily 1 suited (making slam searches easier) and use x
for most other hands. That means at these colors we should
probably bid
4s
and have the anti acid ready if we get x.

I tried 3♠ for the reasons given by Rainer. Partner boosted to 4, and I got a heart lead into:
♠8x ♥ATx ♦K98xx ♣xxx
I won on the board & played a spade to the T-K-A, and lefty continued hearts instead of leading from his KJx of clubs, allowing me to unblock my AQ of diamonds, cross to the ♠8, and pitch a club on the diamond. Lucky.
