Default Dock Lines

Try as I may........I just can't learn to splice a loop into a three strand nylon line.

Currently when I tie my boat up at our cottage I use the lines that are permanently attached to the cleats on my boat (i.e. the ropes that I use to tie up when I'm away from home). These lines are long enough (15') to enable tying up at piers with large pilings (e.g. the Meredith Town Docks). Consequently, tying up at home takes a longer amount of time than should be necessary due to the need to "custom" tie up (aligning with boat whips, etc) each and every time that I dock at home. What I would like is to have custom fit lines permanently attached to the cleats on my dock so that I simply need to slip them over the boat cleats when I arrive back at home. Does anyone know where I could get custom length lines created with loops spliced on both ends?
